Trauma and Orbital Fractures
Reconstructive surgery
The eyes are protected by the skin of eyelids and bones of the eye socket (orbit) and face. A serious injury or trauma to the face can involve this delicate anatomy around the eyes.
Orbital fractures are usually associated with swelling and pain after the inciting injury. It can be difficult to know right away whether or not a fracture needs to be repaired. Obtaining and reviewing proper imaging studies(CT scans) along with careful clinical follow up will determine the necessity for surgical correction.
