Abstract

On the basis of analysis of the orbital bony architecture and the locations of the medial and lateral canthi, as well as the pupillary position, a new orthomorphic linear scale was devised for orbital surgery. The measuring device was designed to facilitate hard- and soft-tissue repositioning during mono-orbital and biorbital surgery. The device is useful for craniofacial, reconstructive, and periorbital trauma surgery and, to the best of our knowledge, is the first one described.
