Objective:
To investigate the classification criterion and the treatment of lamina papyracea blow-out fracture.
Method:
A clinic analysis was made on 108 case with lamina papyracea blow-out fracture. According to the classification, different treatments were taken differently.
Result:
The classification of 108 cases were reported as follows: 71 cases were classified as level 1, 33 cases as level 2, 4 cases as level 3. There was no special treat-ment for 43 cases (level 1) who had no diplopia. 28 cases (level 1) who had symptom of diplopia were treated conservatively. Its cure rate was 92. 9% (26/28). Other 34 cases were operated. Among them, 33 cases were classified as at least level 2, 1 case who had no satisfactory curative effect with conservative therapy was classified as level 1. The cure rate was 88. 2% (30/34). The other 4 cases classified as level 2 or 3 who didn't accept operation were treated conservatively, the cure rate was 25% (1/4).
Conclusion:
The classification of lamina papyracea blowout fracture facilitates the judgement of patient's condition and the selection of treatment. The transnasal endoscopic operation on serious lamina papyracea blow-out fracture cases produces a good curative effect.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
