Abstract

The hypertelorism surgery is a complex procedure requiring a long learning curve. Even though the box osteotomy technique is well described in literature, its representation is generally based on texts and illustrations that do not really give a 3-dimensional or a dynamic point of views. The authors present a 3-dimensional animated video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/SCS/E561 showing the craniofacial osteotomies and focusing on the critical points to correct hypertelorism.
