Abstract
Obtaining these measurements preoperatively can enable a safer and more predictable surgical approach to the orbit, which can help lower the risk of damaging important neighboring structures. A preformed reconstruction plate can be manufactured or a standard reconstruction plate can be customized according to these measurements; during reconstruction, they also can help adequately localize the posterior ledge, specifically the orbital process of the palatine bone. These 2 aspects could ensure a more precise reconstruction of the orbital floor.
