Investigation using single point incremental forming (SPIF) to fabricate patient-specific, titanium orbital floor implants [PDF]
MATEC Web of ConferencesThe floor of the human orbit is composed of thin bone that is prone to traumatic fracture. This leads to a loss of support for the eye, which can cause vision changes. Therefore, fractures may need surgical reconstruction using a thin, sheet-like implant.
