Orbital floor fractures require careful reconstruction to preserve eye function. Advanced techniques like endoscopic visualization and screw fixation improve implant placement and repair outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Orbital floor fractures are common, often accompanying midface fractures.
  • Preserving orbital integrity is crucial to prevent post-traumatic complications.
  • Various reconstruction materials and techniques exist, each with pros and cons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current methods for orbital floor fracture reconstruction.
  • To highlight challenges in achieving optimal repair outcomes.
  • To discuss advancements in stabilization and visualization.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on orbital floor reconstruction techniques.
  • Discussion of autogenous grafts (bone, cartilage) and alloplastic materials (polyethylene, silicone, titanium mesh).

  • Analysis of stabilization methods including screw fixation and endoscopic visualization.

    • Main Results:

    • Improper implant stabilization and posterior placement lead to suboptimal repairs.
    • Titanium screw fixation offers graft stabilization.
    • Endoscopic visualization enhances defect assessment and implant positioning.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective orbital floor reconstruction demands secure implant stabilization and accurate posterior placement.
    • Endoscopic techniques and screw fixation represent significant advancements in managing orbital floor defects.
    • Optimized repair strategies are essential for restoring orbital function and preventing complications.
