Beschreibungen/Notizen
Orbital fractures are some of the most challenging injuries the oral surgeon deals with on a daily basis. Delay of the treatment of orbital fractures impacts the final result. Late orbital reconstruction is sometimes necessary for inadequate primary reconstruction or for severe injuries with adequate primary reconstruction. Healing and wound contraction make secondary reconstruction more difficult to restore the orbital contents back to normal. There are different materials available for orbital reconstruction, and there is no consensus about which is best. Early surgical intervention may improve the ultimate outcome, but identifying patients at risk of late complications is difficult.
