Orbital fractures are a common midfacial trauma. Orbital fractures account for 40 % of all fractures of the facial skeleton. Isolated orbital fractures are observed in ~35–40 % of cases, while 30–33 % of injured patients have two walls damaged. In children, orbital fractures account for 23 % of all facial traumas. Trapdoor- type fractures constitute 25–70 % of all orbital fractures in the pediatric population. 70 % of all orbital fractures are combined with certain injuries of the globe, other facial bones, and head trauma.
The orbital fracture can cause functional impairment and cosmetic disfigurement as well. A timely repair will give very good results. Oculoplasty surgeons know the periocular functional anatomy very well and so can deal with orbital fractures alone or in association with plastic or maxillofacial surgeons. The transconjunctival route is the most aesthetic approach to repair the orbital floor and medial wall fractures.
