| dc.description | Proptosis is characterized by a protrusion of the eyeball due to an increase of the orbital tissue volume. To recover a normal eyeball positioning, the most frequent surgical technique (BROD technique) consists in the osteotomy of orbital walls combined with a loading on the eyeball to initiate tissue decompression. This paper proposed an experimental method to quantify the intra-operative clinical gesture in proptosis reduction, and the pilot study concerned one clinical case. The eyeball's backward displacement was measured by an optical 3D localizer and the load applied by the surgeon was simultaneously measured by a custom-made force gauge. Quasi-static stiffness of the intra-orbital content was evaluated. The average values for the whole experiment was 16 N (SD: 3 N) for the force exerted by the surgeon and 9 mm (SD: 4 mm) for the eyeball backward displacement. The averaged quasi-static stiffness of the orbital content was evaluated to 2.4 N/mm (SD: 1.2) and showed a global decrease of 45% post-operatively. | |
