BACKGROUND The influence of orbital fractures and their repair on the rate of deformities of the lower eyelid is an ongoing source of discussion in the literature. Most of the present studies include isolated blow-out as well as combined orbital fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS We present a retrospective evaluation of a series of 100 patients after isolated blow-out fracture repair using refer...

BACKGROUND Restoring the orbital cavity in large blow out fractures is a challenge for surgeons due to the anatomical complexity. This study evaluated the clinical outcomes and orbital volume after orbital wall fracture repair using a rapid prototyping (RP) technique and intraoperative navigation system. METHODS This prospective study was conducted on the medical records and radiology records...

PURPOSE This study was conducted in order to investigate the therapeutic effect of closed reduction according to a classification in patients with nasal bone fracture. METHODS The study was conducted retrospectively on 186 patients with a mean age of 38 years (range: 7 to 80 years). All patients were diagnosed by clinical and radiologic examination, and then classified according to Hwang's cl...

Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg, Vol. 32, No. 3, 2016 237 To the Editor: Szamocki and Shah-Desai described a Mullerectomy procedure with skin crease preservation, which they advocated because of their good results and faster healing time, compared with a Mullerectomy with skin resection. When I first described the Muller muscle conjunctival resection ptosis procedure, it was also done without any s...

BACKGROUND A transcaruncular approach is typically used for reconstructions of medial wall fractures. However, others reported that a transconjunctival approach was conducive for securing an adequate surgical field of view. In this study, we aimed to examine the extent of repair of medial wall fracture via a transconjunctival approach. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records o...

Accepting the Beremin approach to the analysis of cleavage failure criteria the local fracture parameters have been calculated using FEM for Charpy type specimen. Two types, of model fenitic microstructures have been selected for presentation differing by carbide thickness and scatter of fracture toughness data. For the microstructures investigated the Weibull stresses (location parameters) wer...
