Abstract

|
|
As physicians we have the obligation to restore the injured patient to the best possible condition from the stand point of appearance, function and return him to a useful and active life as soon as possible.
Orbital fractures are increasing with the escalation in the number of automobile accidents and the automation in the industry. The proper treatment of blowout fractures of orbit is part of the working knowledge of the experienced plastic surgeon. Recognitions of the problems and early diagnosis have done much to prevent permanent disability and deformity.
Surgical exploration reveals the typical blowout fracture of orbit through the thin portion of the orbital floor with intrapment of the inferior rectus muscle and fascial expansions. Surgical disengagement of the muscle and repair of the floor by a thin silastic sheet sucessfully relieved the patient´s complaints such as diplopia and enophthalmos.
Here, selective, proved workable method of repair of blowout fractures have been presented and illustrated.
