|October 1, 1978
Abstract:
An attempt has been made to acquaint the surgeon with the basic principles in the evaluation and treatment of the patient with trauma involving the orbital area. Evaluation must include neurologic, ophthalmic, as well as radiologic examination of the traumatized area. The decision to operate must be based upon the findings in the individual case using sound clinical judgment. Treatment consists of the restoration of the integrity of the traumatized area and the repair of whatever defects may have been caused.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
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...

01:17Accessory Structures of the Eye
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...
