Objective:
To assess the management of orbital floor fractures and their aftereffects in children.
Patients And Methods:
We retrospectively studied five children with isolated orbital floor fractures who were operated (with a perioperative steroid and antibiotic treatment) between 1998 and 2007 in our pediatric hospital. At the first visit, they all had a complete clinical examination, a Hess-Lancaster test, and a computed tomography (CT) scan. At the last visit, they all had a clinical examination and four children underwent a Hess-Lancaster test.
Results:
After a median follow-up of 26 months (range, 4-100 months), no child had diplopia, all Hess-Lancaster tests were normal, and two children suffered from infraorbital hypoesthesia.
Conclusion:
Surgical repair associated with steroids and antibiotics in orbital floor fracture with our surgical indications has led to good functional results with minimal complications.

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...
