Measurement

Turn on measurement, then click two points on the bone, the implant or a screw. Distances are in millimetres, on the manufacturing meshes.

Implant section in blue, bone section in ochre. Models simplified for the web: measurements are indicative; the reference dimensions are those of the design file.

Reading the case

What the model shows

A thin implant that rebuilds the orbital roof. Fixation is moved to the superior orbital rim with three screws whose axes were set at planning, away from the orbital contents.

What to look at in the viewer

  1. 01Bottom or front view: position of the implant under the superior rim.
  2. 02Sagittal plane through a screw: screw axis in the rim.
  3. 03Measurement: screw spacing, depth of the implant in the orbit.
