Severe traumatic oculo-orbital displacement. Diagnosis and secondary treatment.
We have treated 12 patients with severe oculo-orbital trauma during the past 3 years. The structural problems, produced by disruption or displacement of the orbital cone, were treated effectively (and, on occasion, preferentially) with onlay bone grafts. For an effective correction, we advise radical mobilization of the soft tissue and simultaneous correction on the ocular adnexal deformities. Ocular muscle problems are produced by direct injury to the extraocular muscles, or oculomotor nerve, and were possible these should be corrected early. The structural damage to the eye and orbit falls into certain patterns, related to weak points about the orbit. These have been described.
