Abstract
Malposition of the globe and failure to fuse visual images are late-developing complications of orbital injury. This article reviews the causes of specific sequelae, such as enophthalmos, hypophthalmos, and diplopia, and describes a procedure of strategic implantation of autogenous bone grafts to correct the condition(s). Using quantifiable methods of assessing globe position and motility, the authors demonstrate improvement in 18 of 19 patients. Vision is reported unchanged or improved in 13 sighted patients. Several cases are presented with analyses of preoperative and postoperative photographs. Indications, contraindications, advantages, and disadvantages of the surgical procedure are described and compared to others.
