Biomechanical assessment of orbital fractures using patient-specific models and clinical matching

Orbital wall fractures consider one of the most common fractures in the maxillofacial trauma. These fractures caused by two mechanisms, the buckling mechanism and hydraulic mechanism. This study aims to compare between the two mechanisms in terms of intensity and extension using the finite elements method.Three-dimensional model of the skull was generated using computed tomography data of young male patient. Virtual loads were applied on the...
