Post- traumatic Orbit
Orbital floor contouring
The commonest is the blow out fracture. It can vary
in extent of the floor involvement with or with out entrapment of
the muscle (s). The indication of surgical intervention is mis-alignment
of globes because of sagging of the globe down in the maxillary
sinus, diplopia, and anynthing threatening vision. Management vary
from wait and watch to release of entrapment to use the rib graft to
orbital floor implantation. If done properly and in time results are
gratifying.
Other walls repair
In compound injuries other walls may also get
fractured and need to be repaired. Fixation is done with microplates
and screws.
Miscellaneous
Lacerations and haematomas are managed accordingly.
Bony losses are managed by bone grafting to maintain orbital
contour. Eye brow losses are reconstructed from scalp.
