摘要
This study introduces a method to overcome technical challenges in using intraoperative ultrasound for the closed reduction of nasal bone and zygomatic arch fractures. The curvature of the face makes it difficult to apply an ultrasound probe to the facial area. We used a solid gel pad as a coupling medium during surgery to improve the scanning of facial bone fractures. The results show that the fracture sites observed on preoperative computed tomography scans can be easily visualized using intraoperative ultrasound, and real-time manipulation confirms successful reduction. The solid gel pad is light, malleable, easy to use, and provides accurate images. Overall, the use of ultrasound with a solid gel pad enhances the accuracy of closed reduction in facial bone fracture surgeries, confirming fracture patterns and ensuring precise reduction.
