Impure orbital blowout fractures: Our experience and challenges

Abstract

Orbital floor fractures are a common result of facial trauma. They may occur as isolated fractures after localized blunt trauma or as part of massive facial trauma. Common clinical feature of orbital blowout fracture includes diplopia, enophthalmos, and hypoglobus. There have been debates over the type of materials used in the reconstruction of orbital blowout fractures and time of surgery. We report our experience and challenges with the investigation and repair of impure orbital floor fractures, especially in resource-scarce environment.
