The aim of our study was to evaluate the biodegradable plates (PG910/PDO) for reconstruction of various sizes of the orbital floor defects in the blow-out fractures. We included patients who had an impure blow-out fracture. All patients had a recent...

The present study aimed to analyze if a preformed “hybrid” patient-specific orbital mesh provides a more accurate reconstruction of the orbital floor and a better functional outcome than a standardized, intraoperatively adapted titanium implant. Thir...

Blowout fractures are common midfacial fractures in which one or several of the bones of orbital vault break. This is usually caused by a direct trauma to the eye with a blunt object such as a fist. Fracturing of the fragile orbital bones can lead to...

Periorbital injury can present with various permutations of bone trauma, soft-tissue edema, and hematomas that might involve proptosis and restricted motility. We report a case of a 32-year-old patient who sustained a traumatic orbital compartment sy...

Orbital blow-out fractures are very common. Goals of surgical treatment are to reestablish form and function with excellent cosmetic results. Materials used for orbital floor repair include autologous grafts and a variety of alloplastic materials. In...

Orbital emphysema after nose-blowing is an uncommon condition and can appear without a trigger. Herein, we reported a case of orbital emphysema after nose-blowing and performed a literature review. A 68-year-old man fell and sustained an injury near...

Study Design: Retrospective comparative interventional series of all patients who had undergone orbital fracture repair by 2 senior orbital surgeons in a single tertiary trauma center from January 2005 to December 2014. Objective: To compare the outc...

Study Design: N/A. Objective: This study investigated the different ways of orbital floor reconstruction with special focus on reconstruction materials, imaging modalities (intra-/ post-operative), 3D printing and navigation. Methods: The heads of al...

Orbital floor fractures are primarily caused by blunt trauma to the area around the eyes. These injuries most commonly affect the orbital floor and medial wall due to the fragility of these structures. The mechanism typically involves transmission of...

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of the intraoperative bending of titanium mesh with the efficacy of pre-contoured “hybrid” patient-specific titanium mesh for the surgical repair of isolated orbital floor fractures. In-ho...

Pure orbital blowout fractures occur within the confines of the internal orbital wall. Restoration of orbital form and volume is paramount to prevent functional and esthetic impairment. The anatomical peculiarity of the orbit has encouraged surgeons...

Background: Orbital floor fractures (OFFs) represent an interesting chapter in maxillofacial surgery, and one of the main challenges in orbit reconstruction is shaping and cutting the precise contour of the implants due to its complex anatomy. Object...

Traumatic orbital roof fractures are rare and are managed nonoperatively in most cases. They are typically associated with severe mechanisms of injury and may be associated with significant neurologic or ophthalmologic compromise including traumatic...

Background: The question of reconstruction of human tissues and organs with the use of medical materials is still open, because of the accurate requirements for their biological and physical features. The aim of this study was to prove the efficiency...

Background: During blow-out fracture surgery, restoration of the orbital volume and rigid implant fixation are essential. The migration of an implant is a concern of most surgeons. The purpose of this study was to introduce a simple idea of molding a...

Treatment of orbital floor fractures is predicated on the restoration of orbital volume to prevent enophthalmos or hypoglobus. Globe position is the result of a complex interplay between the bony orbital anatomy and the soft tissue envelope. Studies...
