Orbital Floor Fracture Repair

Repair of an orbital floor fracture involves bridging of the floor defect using one of the various biomaterials.
Orbital floor fracture repair. This video is assisted by surg. Tripod fractures can also be associated with orbital floor fractures but with a different mechanism. This becomes even more difficult to visualize in dissection further posteriorly. This video illustrates the use of porous polyethylene implant stabilized with cyanoacrylate glue to repair an orbital floor fracture by the transconjunctival.
The transition zone between the medial orbital wall and the orbital floor is difficult to visualize intraoperatively. The challenge of orbital floor repair is particular in the most posterior part and in the transition zone with the medial wall. Many fractures of the orbit a common occurrence with facial trauma never require surgery which is customarily performed in patients with restricted motility diplopia and enophthalmos. When it comes to surgical repair of orbital floor fractures the consensus among oculoplastic specialists is that less is often more.
