Contemporary management of orbital blowout fractures.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Orbital floor blowout fractures may lead to significant morbidity, including debilitating double vision and globe malposition. Thorough evaluation and timely surgical intervention may prevent long-term sequelae.
RECENT FINDINGS: New studies have demonstrated certain patients with orbital floor fractures to do well when managed conservatively. In those necessitating operative repair, precise surgical dissection and adequate fracture reduction are essential to restoring orbital anatomy and function. Novel surgical techniques and orbital floor reconstruction materials, described in this review, will further optimize patient outcomes.
SUMMARY: A knowledgeable evaluation, thoughtful management strategy and modernized surgical technique can prevent long-term disability in patients with orbital floor blowout fractures.
