[Transconjunctival approach to the fractures of the orbital floor and infraorbital rim].
OBJECTIVE
To study the surgical approach to the orbital floor and infraorbital rim.


METHODS
15 cases of fractures of the orbital floor and infraorbital rim were treated with the transconjunctival approach.


RESULTS
All fractures of the orbital floor and infraorbital rim were repositioned and fixed through transconjunctival approach. Except for 1 case with mild canthal malposition, no other complication was observed.


CONCLUSIONS
The transconjunctival approach can provide adequate exposure of the infraorbital rim and orbital floor without scar formation in the face.
