A Novel Anatomical Thin Titanium Mesh Plate with Patient-matched Bending Technique for Orbital Floor Reconstruction

This study developed an anatomical thin titanium mesh (ATTM) plate for Asian orbital floor fracture based on the medical image database. The computer aided stamping analysis was performed on four hole/slot patterns included the control type without hole design, circular hole pattern, slot pattern and hole/slot hybrid patterns within the ATTM plate with upper/lower dies of averaged orbital cavity reconstruction models. The curved-fan ATTM plate with 0.4mm thickness was manufactured and pre-bent using a patient matched stamping process to verify its feasibility and the interfacial fitness between the plate and bone on the orbital floor fracture model.
