Abstract
The oral and maxillofacial surgeon is very often called upon to treat complex facial trauma involving the orbit. Surgeons who treat orbital fractures and soft tissue injuries around the eye need a sophisticated ability to identify concomitant injuries to the globe and adnexal structures of the eye. In order to identify such injuries, one must know what to look for. The surgeon must not only possess an accurate and precise knowledge of the anatomy of the orbit, globe and adnexal structures, but also how this anatomy can be altered by trauma. Through this understanding the practitioner will be able to look for and identify ocular and globe injuries in patients who require repair of fractures involving the orbit, allowing surgical intervention to be accomplished in a safe manner.
