Current Guidelines and Opinions in the Management of Orbital Floor Fractures

Orbital floor fractures are a common manifestation of facial trauma that is encountered by ophthalmology , otolaryngology , and oral maxillofacial specialists. Surgical intervention is required emergently in cases of tissue entrapment and less urgently in cases of presenting with persistent diplopia , enophthalmos greater than 2 mm, and/or fractures involving greater than 50% of the orbital floor. Surgical management is a debated topic with differing opinions among surgeons regarding timing of repair, type of implant, and surgical approach.
