Abstract
In general, trauma centers have limitations regarding the availability of staff, physical resources and physical condition for the treatment of patient that determine the intervention time of a fracture. Even though, it is well described that in orbital trauma the best time for treatment is an immediate reduction, it is not always possible and most of the time is performed on a delayed time. In the case of orbital trauma there is the possibility of diplopia as a sequel in relationship of time of reconstruction. We analyzed clinical record during the years 2011 and 2012 in the Hospital Clinico Mutual de Seguridad – Santiago, Chile, searching for a relationship between the time from trauma and reconstruction surgery of the orbit and quantifying how many of them reported diplopia as a permanent sequelae.
