Management of Orbital Floor Fractures: An Oculoplastic Surgeon's View

Abstract

ABSTRACT Orbital fractures commonly occur in maxillofacial trauma causing enophthalmos and diplopia. The isolated orbital floor fracture often called as blow out fracture is a common presentation following blunt trauma. The floor fractures may also occur in combination with zygomatic arch fractures, Le Fort II or III or with fracture of other orbital bones. The cosmetic and functional problems can virtually become untreatable if floor fractures are not properly managed. In recent years, management of these fractures has been standardized with special emphasis on methods of treatment, timing and materials used for reduction.
