Abstract

The use of navigated surgery in the treatment of craniofacial malformations can help obtain optimal results. In this article, the authors will discuss a case of anterior plagiocephaly, corrected with frontorbital bandeau remodeling. Navigation was used during the osteotomy and the reposition phase to ensure the correct positioning of the osteotomy instruments. It was also used to ensure that the bandeau was correctly repositioned in accordance with the surgical plan determined during the virtual simulation phase of the surgery.
