First-Time Use of Diced Cartilage Glue Grafts for Post Trauma Orbital Rim Reconstruction.

Abstract

Diced cartilage glue graft is a technique where small pieces of diced cartilage are mixed with fibrin glue to form a malleable cohesive graft. This technique is routinely used in rhinoplasty or nasal dorsum augmentation. Here we present the case of a 52-year-old man who sustained craniofacial trauma and developed supraorbital irregularities following the primary reconstruction surgeries. We, for the first time, used diced glue graft technique to perform superomedial orbital rim reconstruction and contouring to resolve the irregularities. Based on our experience, this method can be successfully adapted for orbital rim reconstruction while achieving seamless contouring and enhanced aesthetic results.
