Accuracy of Positioning Guide and Customized Plate in Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fractures
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the accuracy and stability of positioning guides and customized titanium plates in the treatment of Zygomaticomaxillary Complex (ZMC) fractures. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the anatomical reduction achieved using a virtual planning-based positioning guide accurate when compared to preoperative plans? * Does the customized titanium plate provide stable fixation during the follow-up period? Researchers will compare the actual postoperative outcome to the preoperative virtual surgical plan to see if the customized workflow improves anatomical alignment. Participants will: * Undergo a preoperative Computed Tomography (CT) scan for virtual surgical planning. * Receive surgical treatment using a patient-specific positioning guide and customized titanium plate. * Complete follow-up assessments including postoperative CT scans and clinical evaluations for 6 months.
