Titanium mesh (TM) showed the lowest complication rates for orbital floor fracture (OFF) reconstruction. Porous polyethylene (PP) and urinary catheters (UCs) trended higher, while plate/screw fixation proved beneficial for complex fractures.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Orbital floor fractures (OFFs) are common facial injuries.
  • Complications include enophthalmos, diplopia, and infraorbital hypoesthesia.
  • Surgical repair utilizes materials like titanium mesh (TM), porous polyethylene (PP), plate/screw fixation, and urinary catheters (UCs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate surgical approaches for OFF repair.
  • To compare the efficacy of different reconstruction materials.
  • To analyze postoperative outcomes and complication rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 103 patients with OFFs (Jan 2019 - Dec 2024).
  • Data collected on demographics, trauma mechanisms, fracture types, surgical methods, materials used, and complications.
Keywords:

  • Logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors for complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Motor vehicle collisions were the most frequent cause (48.5%).
    • TM exhibited the lowest complication rate.
    • PP and UCs showed a trend towards higher complications, while plate/screw fixation had a lower risk.

    Conclusions:

    • Titanium mesh appears to be a safe and effective material for orbital floor fracture reconstruction.
    • Plate/screw fixation is advantageous for complex fractures.
    • Further prospective studies are needed to validate findings, especially regarding PP and UC complication trends.
