[Surgical treatment of posttraumatic deformity of the orbital floor]

The article is devoted to an actual problem of surgical treatment of patients with posttraumatic deformities of the orbital floor. On the material of 21 observations it was shown that for the successful treatment of deformities of the orbit bottom autogenous costal cartilage graft should be used as a plastic material. Removal of enophthalmos in longstanding fractures can be reached only by reducing the volume of the orbit which can be achieved by retrobulbar placement of the graft. An analysis of the results demonstrated high efficiency of this method in the treatment of such patients.
