  • Title: [Fractures of the orbital floor. Apropos of a homogeneous series of 70 patients].
    Author: Rocca A, Stefani S, Laurens D, Mattei M.
    Journal: Ann Chir Plast Esthet; 1991; 36(3):193-9. PubMed ID: 1721774.
    Abstract:
    The authors report their experience based on a homogeneous series of 70 fractures of the orbital floor. Different anatomo-clinical forms were defined in particular fractures of the orbital floor, accompanying an "internal pivoting" of the cheek bone, which by their incarceration mechanism resemble the trap-door fractures. The blow-out fracture associated with the lower orbital margin also raises therapeutic problems. After a clinical and CT study, the authors recommend treatment via the lower orbital approach using silastic implants. The different sequelae are described clinically and are appraised medically and legally.
