PURPOSE To investigate the surgical timing postinjury in regard to ocular motility in patients with orbital-floor blowout fractures. METHODS This study involved 197 eyes (92 right eyes and 105 left eyes) of 197 patients (154 males and 43 females, mean age: 29.0 years, range: 7-85 years) with pure orbital blowout fractures. All patients underwent surgical repair within 30 days postinjury and w...

In a 12-year period, 56 consecutive patients have undergone secondary periorbital reconstruction after trauma. To evaluate the overall results and the need for further correction, three diagnostic groups were formed. These were: malar bone (n = 16), midface (n = 16) and fronto-orbital fractures (n = 24). Also, in order to judge the reliability of the procedures used most frequently, all osteoto...

MULTIPLE myelomata are uncommon endosteal tumours developing from the myeloblastic elements of the bone marrow. The ribs, sternum, clavicle, vertebral bodies, and pelvis are favourite sites; the skull is also frequently involved and the long bones may be affected, but never alone (Perkins, 1936). The disease has an insidious onset and is often only recognized late when multiple nodules appear o...

This rare case report describes the diagnosis and treatment of an isolated left-sided orbital floor fracture with a complete dislocation of the globe into the maxillary sinus and briefly discusses the indications of surgery and recovery for orbital floor fractures in general. Complete herniation of the globe through an orbital blow-out fracture is uncommon. However, the current case illustrates...

The surgeon encounters orbital fractures in the acute, subacute and chronic settings. In each situation, the treatment goals are similar-restoration of orbital integrity and volume. However, the nuances of treatment can vary widely according to the specific setting and injury. In this chapter, we will attempt to provide an overview of how we approach orbital fractures in a variety of settings, ...

      Background: Effects of estrogen on bone metabolism and its protective role on prevention of osteoporosis are well   documented. However, the efficacy of estrogen treatment on bone healing is not well investigated. The drug can be delivered both systemically or locally to the bone with differences in concentrations and side effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lo...

at neck region called as Trans cervical neck fracture. Third bone shows fracture that happens at intertrochanteric line of femur bone known as Intertrochanteric fracture. The fourth bone shows the fracture that happens at sub trochanteric region named as subtrochanteric fracture, Fracture that happens at greater trochanter region shown in fifth bone is known as fracture at greater trochanter, i...

Orbital fractures commonly occur in maxillofacial trauma causing enophthalmos and diplopia. The isolated orbital fl oor fracture often called as blow out fracture is a common presentation following blunt trauma. The fl oor fractures may also occur in combination with zygomatic arch fractures, Le Fort II or III or with frac ture of other orbital bones. The cosmetic and functional problems can vi...

BACKGROUND The term "orbital blow-out fracture" is referred to as the mechanism by which an impact to the eyeball is transposed as a mechanical energy to the orbital walls, causing them to fracture. Despite a proper surgical technique, a successful anatomic reconstruction of the orbit, and an accurate follow-up, 3 complications are still frequently observed at long-term follow-up: diplopia, eno...
