Outcomes in Orbital Floor Trauma: A Comparison of Isolated and Zygomaticomaxillary-Associated Fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Orbital floor fractures are common sequalae of trauma to the orbit. These fractures present as an isolated orbital floor (I-OF) fracture or with other midface fractures, typically the zygomaticomaxillary complex. The authors sought to better understand the differences in patient presentation, surgical decision-making, and outcomes in I-OF fractures compared with those associated with zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures (Z-OF). A retrospective review of patients with orbital floor fractures was conducted to generate an I-OF fracture group and a Z-OF fracture group. Demographics, preoperative symptoms, surgical choices, and postoperative complications were assessed. Complications were assessed individually and as 2 composite groups consisting of orbital complications and e
