The purpose of this study is to execute an evidence-based review answering the following question (PICO): "Do patient-specific implants (PSI), manufactured or designed using computer-assisted technology, improve outcomes (orbital volume change, enophthalmos, diplopia, and operative duration) compared to conventional methods in orbital reconstruction following traumatic orbital injury in the adult patient population?" We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Inclusion criteria included any comparative paper whereby computer-assisted technology was used in the prefabrication or design process of implants for use in post-traumatic orbital reconstruction. Paediatric patient populations were excluded. Eight databases were systematically searched for relevant studies. Risk of bias was assessed through the NOS and RoB2 tools. Random-effects models were used to identify differences in outcomes between groups where possible. Analysis was performed using R 4.0.0. Eleven of 4784 identified studies were included, comprising 628 adult patients, with 302 and 326 patients in the patient-specific and conventional groups, respectively. Weighted mean difference between unaffected and post-operative orbital volume was 0.32 ml (SD 0.75) and 0.95 ml (SD 1.03) for patient-specific and conventional groups, respectively. Significant improvement was identified in post-operative orbital volume reconstitution with the use of PSI, compared to conventional implants, in 3 of the 5 reporting studies. Equally, post-operative enophthalmos trended towards lower severity in the patient-specific group, with 11.2% of patients affected in the patient-specific group and 19.2% in the conventional group, and operative duration was significantly reduced with the use of PSI in 3 of the 6 reporting studies. Despite a tendency to favour PSI, no statistically significant differences in key outcomes were identified on meta-analysis. Although there is some encouraging data to support improved outcomes with the use of patient-specific orbital implants in post-traumatic reconstruction, there is, at present, no statistically significant evidence to objectively support their use over conventional implants based on the currently available comparative studies. Based on the results of this study, the choice of implant used should, thus, be left to the discretion of the surgeon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
