Introduction:
Oculoplastics is a subspecialty of ophthalmology that focuses on a wide range of disorders affecting the orbit, lacrimal system, and eyelids. In this review, we examine orbital fractures with a focus on mechanisms of injury, clinical and radiologic evaluation, and surgical decision-making. We outline the common fracture patterns and their functional and aesthetic implications, discuss the criteria guiding conservative versus surgical management, and review contemporary surgical approaches along with recent technological advances in orbital reconstruction.

Fractures: 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...
Cranial 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...
