dc.description.abstractComplex maxillofacial fractures demand a detailed understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) pattern of injury. Evaluation of the outcome of the facial fracture repair additionally requires optimal demonstration of fracture gap, bony union, fibrous callus or incorporation of fracture ends, presence of incomplete fusion, or pseudoarthrosis. Although 3D computed tomography (CT) is reliably used for the diagnosis of complex facial fractures, its value in facial fracture healing is unknown. An experimental study was conducted to determine the accuracy of 3D spiral CT scans in evaluating facial fracture healing during the early and late postoperative periods. In 10 adult Wistar Albino rats, a standardized bone defect (3 mm) was created within the mid portion of each zygomatic arch (n = 20). At 10 and 20 weeks postfracture, gap distance displayed by 3D CT and plane radiography (posteroanterior) were measured. At 20 weeks postfracture, intraoperative measurement was also performed. A comparison between 3D CT, radiography, and intraoperative findings was performed. At 10 weeks postfracture, the fracture sites displayed larger bone defects in imaging with 3D CT than with plane radiography. The difference between groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The mean defect size imaged by 3D CT was 0.91 +/- 0.82 turn (standard deviation) and by plane radiography was 0.42 +/- 0.16 mm. At 20 weeks postfracture, the mean defect size imaged by 3D CT was 0.56 +/- 0.64 mm, and by plane radiography was 0.38 +/- 0.22 mm. The difference between groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The defect size imaged by both plane radiography and 3D CT was significantly less than the measurement obtained from the intraoperative assessment (P < 0.05). It was concluded that 3D CT has limited benefit in the detection of newly formed bone at week 10 and in the detection of fibrous callus, which can eventually give rise to the bony tissue. Plane radiography is more valid during the early postoperative period (week 10), because it can detect the fibrous callus and newly formed bone more precisely. Gap distance between fracture ends could be determined by 3D CT accurately at week 20, although there was a tendency, which was not statistically significant, to overestimate the amount of bone defect measured by 3D CT when compared with that of plane radiography.en_US
