Abstract
- Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (CFD) is a rare developmental disease of bone, which typically presents as a painless, expansile mass causing deformity of the craniofacial skeleton. In rare circumstances, compression of neurovascular structures may arise, causing symptoms such as pain, visual impairment, and hearing loss. Traditionally, CFD debulking has been performed with "freehand" techniques using preoperative imaging and anthropometric norms to determine the ideal amount of tissue removal. The advent of computer-assisted surgery, computer-aided design, and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) has revolutionized the management of CFD. Surgeons can now fabricate patient-specific osteotomy/ostectomy guides, allowing for increased accuracy in bone removal and improved cosmetic outcomes. This series of 3 cases describe our institution's technique using patient-specific ostectomy "depth guides", which allow for maximum removal of fibro-osseous tissue while sparing deep and adjacent critical structures. These techniques can be widely applied to the craniofacial skeleton to assist in the surgical management of CFD.<br />Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 by Mutaz B.
