title: Orbital fractures and medial canthal reconstruction.
abstract: An attempt has been made to acquaint the surgeon with the basic principles in the evaluation and treatment of the patient with trauma involving the orbital area. Evaluation must include neurologic, ophthalmic, as well as radiologic examination of the traumatized area. The decision to operate must be based upon the findings in the individual case using sound clinical judgment. Treatment consists of the restoration of the integrity of the traumatized area and the repair of whatever defects may have been caused.
