    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore a minimally invasive technique with hydroxylapatite artificial bone to repair the orbital blowout fracture. METHODS: Twenty-one cases of orbital blowout fracture from March 2008 to April 2010 were enrolled. And the fractures were repaired with a bridge of hydroxylapatite artificial bone under a nasal endoscope. During a regular 6-month follow-up, anatomic and functional recovery was evaluated. RESULTS: There was neither postoperative visual loss nor infection in all cases. At 3 months post-operation, diplopia vanished completely (n = 17), remained in peripheral vision (n = 2), existed in primary ocular position (n = 2) and the deviation of eyeball (n = 1). At Month 3, diplopia in peripheral vision or in primary position and the deviation of eyeball showed no improvement. Compared with the uninjured side, enophthalmos: ≤ 2 mm (n = 18), > 2 mm (n = 2) and > 4 mm (n = 1). The passive traction test was positive in one case. On computed tomograph (CT) scanning, there was no bone dislocation or slippage in all cases. CONCLUSION: The surgical efficacy is excellent. The technique of combining the advantages of endoscopic sinus approach and hydroxyapatite artificial bone is worth a wider popularization.
