Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to review the mechanisms in the development of orbital fractures.
Methods:
This is a comprehensive literature review that summarizes the mechanisms of developing orbital fractures.
Results:
There are 3 proposed mechanisms in the development of orbital fractures, which include the buckling, hydraulic, and globe-to-wall contact mechanisms. These mechanisms, as well as patient age, causes of injuries, and periorbital anatomy, influence the extent, sites, and patterns of orbital fractures.
Conclusion:
A deeper understanding of these mechanisms helps us to detect and properly manage orbital fractures in the clinical setting.

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...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
