Treatment of post-traumatic orbital deformities

Clin Plast Surg. 1988 Apr;15(2):225-38.

Abstract

Correction of post-traumatic orbital deformities requires adequate exposure, often through coronal and intraoral approaches; adequate dissection, at times circumferential and to within 1 cm of the optic foramen; repositioning of displaced bone segments; refabrication of an orbital framework with autogenous materials; and reattachment of soft-tissue adnexae--all of which are basic maneuvers in craniofacial surgery.
