 Paired bony cavities, housing
and protecting globe.
 Orbital Growth
By 5 yrs - 85% by
Puberty - 100%
 BOUNDARIES OF ORBIT
 LATERAL WALL –
formed by :
a) Anterior surface of greater
wing of sphenoid
posteriorly.
b) Orbital surface of
zygomatic bone anteriorly.
 Frontal and zygomatic
bone
 FZ suture - Narrowest
and weakest
 The lateral wall is almost
devoid of foramina, so its
anterior portion can be
broached without serious
haemorrhage
MEDIAL WALL –
a) Orbital plate of the
ethmoid bone.
b) Anteriorly - continues as
the lacrimal bone which is
weakened by the
nasolacrimal canal passing
through the fossa.
c)Posteriorly – optic foramen
in sphenoid bone
 Poorly defined and merges
posteriorly with lacrimal
bone.
 Displacement in this
region results in deformity
of naso orbital valley and
displacement of canthal
ligament.
 ROOF :
 Orbital part of frontal bone.
 Posteriorly - lesser wing of
sphenoid
 The junction of the roof with
the medial wall is in close
proximity to the cribriform
plate of the ethmoid.
 Penetration of the
duramater will allow
cerebrospinal fluid to
escape into either the orbit
or the nose, or both cavities.
 Infraorbital foramen to midpoint
of inferior orbital fissure : 24mm
 Anterior lacrimal crest to medial
aspect of optic canal :42mm
 FZ suture to superior orbital
fissure : 35mm
 Supraorbital notch to superior
orbital fissure : 40mm
 Supra orbital notch to superior
aspect of optic canal : 45mm
 The lamina papyracea (or orbital lamina) is a
smooth, oblong bone plate which forms the lateral
 surface of the labyrinth of theethmoid bone in the 
skull.
 The plate covers in the middle and posterior 
ethmoidal cells and forms a large part of the medial
wall of the orbit.
 It articulates above with the orbital plate of the 
frontal bone, below with the maxilla and the 
orbital process of palatine bone, in front with the 
lacrimal, and behind with the sphenoid.
 Its name lamina papyracea is a literal description, as
this part of the ethmoid bone is paper-thin and
fractures easily. A fracture here could cause
entrapment of the medial rectus muscle.

ORBITAL FLOOR FRACTURE
Occurs primarily in older
Children
 Children are particularly
susceptible to pure orbital
fractures of the trapdoor variety .
Trapdoor fracture, which first
described by Soll and Poley .
 Occurs when a segment of the
bony orbit fractures and becomes
displaced, but remains attached
on one side.
 It makes orbitral contents
herniated through the fracture
sites, which results in entrapment
of these herniated contents

 Lang (1888) – Expanded orbit
 Bite et al (1985), Manson et al (1986), Whitehouse et al
(1994) – Orbital expansion was the primary reason for
enophthalmos & not the fat atrophy..
 It has been shown that a 0.8–1 ml increase of bony
orbital volume corresponds to 1 mm on the Hertel
exopthalmometer (Lee & Chiu 1993; Ploder et al.
2002).

 Is defined as a retro position
of the globe in its three-
dimensional relationship in
the orbit and should be
assessed in relation to the
contra lateral eye and facial
structures
 Hertels
exophthalmometer is
used to determine the
degree of enophthalmos
 more than 3mm is
indicative of surgery.
 The effusion of blood into and around extra-ocular
muscles interferes with their delicate action required to
maintain co-ordination of the eye movement.
 Binocular – neurogenic injury or restricted motility.
 Monocular-one eye – detached lens
 Traumatic diplopia can result by –
 Physical interference:
1. Extravasation of blood into and around the muscles
and oedema
2. Impingement of bony spicules
3. Displacement of the inferior oblique muscle
 Koornneef & Zonneveld found that
entrapment of IR ms is not the major cause
of diplopia. They found that impaired globe
motility is caused by connective tissue
derangement inside the orbit
 Tessier – oculomotor imbalance

 Epiphora is an overflow of tears onto the face. A
clinical sign or condition that constitutes insufficient 
tear film drainage from the eyesin that tears will drain
down the face rather than through the nasolacrimal
system.
 Causes of epiphora include ocular irritation and
inflammation (including trichiasis and entropion) or
an obstructed tear outflow tract which is divided
according to its anatomical location .
  Another cause could be poor reconstruction of the
nasolacrimal duct system after trauma to the area.
Cause of trauma could be facial fractures (including
nasoethmoid fractures or maxillary Le Fort fractures),
and soft tissue trauma involving the nose and/or the
eyelid. This condition is often frustrating or irritating

Surgery should be performed within 2 weeks after
the edema around the eye has decreased.
In children, callus is formed on the bone
fracture in 7 days, which makes it difficult to
reduce fractures accurately.
Hence, facial bone fractures should be operated
on earlier in children than in adults.
 1957 : Converse & Smith – should be corrected ..within 1st
three weeks.
 1974 : Puttermann – proposed conservative management – if
diplopia persists for >4 months do contralateral eye muscle
surgery.
 Dulley & Fells criteria – 2 wks of observation for diplopia with
corticosteroids and physiotherapy. Surgical Intervene if
enophtholmous >3mm, Diplopia persists, large herniation
 Dortzbeck - >2mm enopthalmous, Persistent diplopia for

 Ectropion is a medical condition in which the
lower eyelid turns outwards. It is one of the
notable aspects of newborns exhibiting

Complex orbital fractures required more than one
material for reconstruction.
additional bone chips can be introduced to fill up
the gaps and to tune projection by comparing the
reconstruction with unaffected orbit.
In terms of anatomic accuracy , Ti meshes are
preferred –over autologous bones grafts, but in
terms of function autologous bones grafts are
preffered

 Objective – decompression of orbit.
 If retro bulbar hemorrhage arises after surgery which
involved access to orbital floor, same incisions may be
used for evacuation of blood from extra conal space.
 If this approach is unsuccessful antrum is approached
,any pack on balloon is defected, and roof is inspected
for any spicules free of periosteum and it is picked up .
After creation of adequate space, suction may be
applied.
 For intraconal space: Incision in placed
above and below lateral canthal ligament,
dividing the orbital septum – provides access
to inter muscular septum between inferior and
lateral rectus muscle
 By banks in 1967
 An instructive example of precise anatomic
localization of a lesion by neurologic sign.
SIGN AND SYPTOMS
 Gross and persistent oedema
 Proptosis and subconjuctival ecchymosis.
 Dilation of pupil, ptosis
 Radiological evidence of reduction in the
dimensions of the superior orbital fissure.
 Combination of superior orbital fissure syndrome
and optic nerve injury
 Etiology: bony compression of optic nerve and
superior orbital fissure
 Symptoms: loss of direct light reflex
 maintenance of consensual reflex
Fracture types can be evaluated and repaired
endoscopically without the need for an extensive
eyelid incision.
It offers improved visualization, anatomic fracture
repair, no risk of postoperative eyelid complications,
and good clinical results.

A straight titanium plate size 1.0mm to 1.3mm is cut lengthwise to be
inserted into one of the channels.
The implant is sized and cut with heavy scissors to fit the defect. The straight plate is inserted into one of the
channels.
The MEDPOR Channel Implant and straight plate are shaped to conform to the
size and configuration of the orbital floor.
The implant is positioned on solid bone (if available). It is advanced carefully so as
not to pinch or incarcerate orbital soft tissue.
Once positioned, the plate is cut to the appropriate length so it can be secured
to solid bone with a 4, 5, or 6mm screw.
The screw secures the plate and the MEDPOR Channel Implant in position.
 Accuracy of reconstruction is a prerequisite for
anatomical positioning of the eye ball in order to
prevent functional disorders.
 The management of orbital fractures and their
complications will be benefited from a
multidisciplinary approach.
 Hence the continued relationship between Cranio
-Maxillofacial Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons & the
Ophthalmic Surgeons, will contribute to the
progression of orbital reconstruction techniques.

     Accuracy ofreconstruction is a prerequisite for anatomical positioning of the eye ball in order to prevent functional disorders.  The management of orbital fractures and their complications will be benefited from a multidisciplinary approach.  Hence the continued relationship between Cranio -Maxillofacial Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons & the Ophthalmic Surgeons, will contribute to the progression of orbital reconstruction techniques.

  • #17 e annulus of Zinn, also known as the annular tendon or common tendinous ring, is a ring of fibrous tissue surrounding theoptic nerve at its entrance at the apex of the orbit. It is the origin for four of the seven extraocular muscles, omitting the inferior oblique muscle.[1]

  • #20 Lateral rectus abduction Medial rectus adduction
  • #22 "buckling theory" proposes that the force transmitted through the rigid orbital rim directly to the thin floor , causes the floor to fracture, usually leaving the rim intact. The "retropulsion" theory, advanced by Smith and Regan, refers to a fracture of the orbital floor caused by sudden increase in intra-orbital pressure; a fracture may result from the hydraulic forces generated in the closed orbital cavity. Blows from a fist, for instance, or objects larger than the horizontal diameter of the orbit, are the most frequent cause of this type of fracture

The condition is also known as eye dislocation and eye luxation. .rapture of rectus muscle
  • #43 Medial palpebral ligament is more readily disturbed if the frontal process of maxilla is # and avulsion. Inferior displacement of the bone to which the ligament is attached will result in a mongoloid slant.detachment of medial canthal ligament associated with naso ethmoidal injuries can lead to traumatic telecanthus

  • #65 The incision for a subciliary approach is made approximately 2 mm inferior to the lashes, along the entire length of the lid (Fig. 2-13). The incision may be extended laterally approximately 1 to 1,5 cm in a natural crease if more exposure is necessary. Subcutaneous dissection of skin, leaving pretarsal portion of orbicularis muscle attached to the tarsus. Dissection 4 to 6 mm inferiorly in this plane is adequate. Use of scissors to dissect through orbicularis oculi muscle over lateral orbital rim to identify periosteum. Incision through the bridge of orbicularis oculi muscle.
  • #67 Placement of incision within confines of eyebrow hair. The incision is made through skin and subcutaneous tissue to the level of the periosteum in one stroke. Incision through periosteum along lateral orbital rim and subperiosteal dissection into lacrimal fossa. Because of the concavity just behind the orbital rim in this area, the periosteal elevator is oriented laterally as dissection proceeds posteriorly.
  • #69 The first plate is placed across the frontozygomatic fracture area.We recommend a minimum of a 5-hole plate with one hole spanning the fracture line. The plate should be properly adapted. When looking through the lower eyelid incision, the orbital rim plate should be properly adapted. Use a minimum of a 5-hole plate with the extra hole spanning the fracture line. Some surgeons recommend placement of a plate to reduce and fixate the lateral wall of the orbit between the greater wing of the sphenoid and the zygoma. This helps to guarantee a proper reduction of this fracture. It can only be used if there is no comminution of the lateral wall of the orbit. Placement of this plate is difficult because of necessary globe retraction.
