Objective:
To study the characters of the diagnosis and treatment for midfacial fractures with orbital floor fractures.
Methods:
136 cases of midfacial fractures with orbital floor fractures were diagnosed and treated. All patients underwent CT scans and accepted surgical intervention. Orbital floor fracture was restituted in 49 cases. Orbital floor defects were reconstructed with autogenous bone, titanium mesh or porous polyethylene implant (Medpor) in 21 cases.
Results:
136 cases recovered well, their facial appearance and function were improved significantly. There were no severe complications happened postoperatively in all cases. 2 cases had postoperative wounds infection and 1 case had temporary ablepsia, but healed completely.
Conclusion:
CT is the best method for diagnosing orbital floor fractures. The objective of treatment is restoration of normal orbital floor and orbital capacity, the reduction of orbital contents prolapsed and reconstruction of orbital floor fractures with repair materials.

01:27Fractures: 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...
01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
