Disease relevance of Orbital Fractures

• A CT scan 1 week later revealed postoperative changes, with no new mass lesion, hemorrhage, or orbital fracture [1].
• However, it seemed that a hyaluronic acid coating (THY) has potential as a coating in areas where cell adhesion is undesirable, such as orbital fractures, where muscles should avoid adhesion to the implant, and distal radius fractures, where tendons should freely glide over the implant [2].
• Contraindications to the use of adjustable sutures in strabismus surgery may include multiple orbital fractures, previous orbital floor decompression for dysthyroid ophthalmopathy, and a variable angle [3].

High impact information on Orbital Fractures

• Orbital fractures were best imaged when 1- to 1.5-mm coronal sections were processed on an advanced 3-D workstation [4].
• CONCLUSIONS: Impact energy applied to the orbit through the eyeball is absorbed and dissipated by three primary mechanisms: (1) globe deformation, (2) globe displacement, and (3) orbital fracture [5].
• Restrictive strabismus after blow-out orbital fracture in children: is the muscle involved [6]?
• A balloon catheter was used to support the fractured medial orbital fracture, which was adapted, ballooned, and then visualized using a radiopaque dye (Visipaque) in 11 cases [7].
• The mean improvement in patients without orbital fractures was 1.8 +/- 0.65 log MAR compared with 0.95 +/- 0.26 in patients with orbital fractures (p = 0.1) [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Orbital Fractures

• Recently several reports have claimed good results using titanium implants to repair orbital fracture [9].
• The information provided in this report should aid in using porous polyethylene or hydroxyapatite for reconstruction of the orbital fracture and in accomplishing better postoperative outcome [10].
• Two special types of trauma patients were selected; those with a blow-out fracture but an intact infraorbital rim (BO) and those with a zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture (ZMC) [11].
• CONCLUSIONS: Region-of-interest measurement from coronal CT scan has an application in the assessment of patients with pure blowout fractures of the orbital floor and adds useful information in posttraumatic evaluation of orbital fractures [12].
• Butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl blue) tissue adhesive was used to secure orbital floor implants in the correction of superior sulcus deformities and blow-out fracture repairs and in one case of autogenous orbital roof bone plate [13].

Gene context of Orbital Fractures

• Bone grafts were repositioned within the orbit in 2 patients with large 2-wall blow-out fractures [14].
• RESULTS: Coronal CT (CCT) proved superior in the diagnosis of orbital fractures (P<0.001) [15].
• INTRODUCTION: In recent years a new perforated PDS (poly-p-dioxanon) foil (0.15 mm) has become available and has not yet been proven to be successful in reconstruction of the orbital floor after blow-out-fractures in randomized studies [16].
• Action stat. Blow-out fracture [17].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Orbital Fractures

• Comparison of real-time ultrasonography and coronal computed tomography in the diagnosis of orbital fractures [18].
