title="Personalized titanium implant and maxillary sinus reconstruction in the management of midfacial fractures",
abstract="Midface fractures account for around 27% of all facial trauma cases. These injuries are most often caused by motor vehicle accidents, falls from height, or assaults, and primarily affect younger individuals, with the highest frequency seen in the 15–24 age group. Craniofacial injuries can lead to a range of severe complications, impacting various bodily systems, including the respiratory, nervous, visual, and stomatognathic systems. These types of complex midface fractures present significant medical challenges due to their complicated nature, high prevalence, and substantial socioeconomic implications. Here we present a 22-year-old male patient who experienced multiple midface fractures due to warfare, including the medial and anterior walls of the maxillary sinus, as well as the orbital margin. After the initial treatment, the patient was subsequently treated using a personalized approach that incorporated a 3D-printed titanium implant.",
