Purpose: To evaluate the use of the resorbable polylactic acid polymer implants (Resorb X) in the management of orbital floor blow-out fractures as regards safety, cosmetic, and functional results.

Methods: In a prospective, interventional case series, 22 patients with traumatic blow-out floor fractures underwent lower fornix transconjunctival repair using polylactic acid implant insertion over the defect without fixation. Orbital imaging was done preoperatively, at 1 month and 1 year postoperatively with orbital computed tomography with 2 mm cuts of axial, sagittal, and coronal scans. Read More

Emergency department (ED) visits for eye and vision-related concerns are common. In most cases, accurate diagnosis is made using clinical history and physical exam findings without the need for emergent imaging. When orbital imaging is performed in the ED, it is often in patients with orbital trauma where CT is used to assess for orbital fractures and associated injuries. Read More

Intraoperative imaging enables the surgeon to control the position of the implant during orbital reconstruction. Although it might improve surgical outcome and avoid the need for revision surgery, it may also increase the duration of the operation and the exposure to radiation. The goal of this study was to find out whether intraoperative imaging improves the position of the implant in reconstructions of the orbital floor and medial wall. Read More

Orbital fracture and orbital floor reconstruction surgery is characterised by limited surgical exposure and high risks. Before the advent of digital technology, the design and implementation of the surgical scheme for orbital floor reconstruction surgery mainly depended on the intuitive understanding of imaging and the clinical experience of surgeons, with strong unpredictability and experience dependence. Surgical navigation systems with real-time positioning and imaging functions, when used in orbital reconstruction surgery, can detect the real-time intraoperative position, avoid risks, and assist in locating the reconstruction position to ensure the accuracy of orbital reconstruction, with the help of a preoperative surgical plan.

Background: Performing accurate anatomical reconstruction is a challenging task in the treatment of internal orbital floor fractures. Compared with traditional transcutaneous incisions, endoscopic transmaxillary approaches have the advantage of avoiding complications related to external scars, and provide direct access to the orbital floor. Autogenous bone provides the ideal material for defect reconstruction, but determination of the correct size and shape of the graft is crucial for a stable support. Read More

The intraorbital contents are thought to be affected by oedema in the days following a blowout fracture. We posit that this oedema can be detected by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as changes in muscle volume, in muscle cross-sectional area, and in the MRI parameter 'mean grey value' (MGV) of the orbital fat and extraocular muscles (EOMs). Patients with a blowout fracture underwent an MRI scan within 72 h after the trauma and again after 10-14 days. Read More

Sunderland Royal Hospital, Sunderland, UK.

Purpose: Patients presenting to emergency departments (EDs) following head injury often undergo computed tomography (CT) of the head to exclude traumatic brain injury. In many cases, this does not show the maxillofacial skeleton. A proportion of these patients also sustain facial fractures, and when fractures involve the orbits, CT imaging is useful in diagnosis and management; obtaining a second scan may cause delay, incur greater cost, and increase radiation dose.

Enophthalmos has many causes, and serious post-traumatic cases indicate the need for operation. Such diagnoses should be made objectively, and a robust method for quantifying the degree to which the globe has been displaced is key. Current methods of measurement, however, have long been considered unreliable and inconsistent, in particular with regard to interobserver variability. Read More
