Objectives: In the field of computer-assisted surgery, 3D printing technology and computer-aided navigation (CAN) technology have led to advances in craniofacial surgery. However, the application of these two techniques in maxillofacial fractures is mostly limited to unilateral zygomatic bone and zygomatic arch fractures, and few studies have investigated their use for multiple maxillofacial fractures. This study summarizes the combined application of 3D printing technology and CAN for complex maxillofacial fractures to guide clinical practice. Materials and methods: Twenty-six patients with multiple maxillofacial fractures from 09/2017 to 03/2021 were retrospectively studied and divided according to surgical method into an experimental group (navigation-aided surgery combined with a 3D-printed guide) and a control group (navigation-aided surgery only). The surgical time was compared between the groups, and posttreatment computed tomography and follow-up visits were conducted at 1 week and 3 months, respectively, to compare the quality of treatment in terms of infection, occlusal disorder, restricted mouth opening, midline displacement, and bilateral asymmetry. Results: According to our results, the combined use of CAN and 3D printing significantly improved the treatment results of double-sided maxillofacial fractures (rs = 0.448, P |
