[Blowout fracture repositioning by fenestration].
Blowout fracture repositioning is done, surgically, infraorbitally, transnasally following endoscopic sinus surgery, and transantrally. Repositioning using fenestration is minimally invasive compared to the conventional Caldwell Luc procedure. Subjects involved 21 cases, and was under the medical treatment. I estimated the treatment results as the improvement degree of subjective symptoms at the improvement degree of the visible symptom views that used a Hess chart. As a result, the fenestration method showed good improvement degree, and it was not the thing which had the big vice-damage. Fenestration thus is useful in blowout fracture repositioning.
