Early Intervention in Orbital Floor Fractures: Postoperative Ocular Motility and Diplopia Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Orbital floor fractures commonly occur during orbital trauma. Currently, the indications for orbital fracture repair and the appropriate duration between trauma and surgical intervention remain controversial.

Methods

Eyes diagnosed with orbital floor fractures that underwent reconstruction surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data were analyzed. Patients were classified based on the timing of the surgical intervention after injury. Ocular limitation and diplopia were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively at one week, one month, and three months.

Results

Two hundred seventy eyes of 270 patients (174 males and 96 females, mean age: 40.9 ± 16.3 years) were identified. The mean duration from injury to surgical intervention was 18.0 ± 21.2 days
