Current Guidelines and Opinions in the Management of Orbital Floor Fractures

Radha P Pandya et al. Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 2023 Dec.

Abstract

Orbital floor fractures are a common manifestation of facial trauma that is encountered by ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and oral maxillofacial specialists. Surgical intervention is required emergently in cases of tissue entrapment and less urgently in cases of presenting with persistent diplopia, enophthalmos greater than 2 mm, and/or fractures involving greater than 50% of the orbital floor. Surgical management is a debated topic with differing opinions among surgeons regarding timing of repair, type of implant, and surgical approach.

Keywords: Orbital floor fracture; Orbital implants; Porous polyethylene; Subciliary; Titanium; Transconjunctival.
