title: Endoscopic reduction of orbital medial wall fracture using rotational repositioning of the fractured: lamina papyracea fragment.
abstract: Orbital fractures are frequently observed in maxillofacial trauma and can cause a wide range of functional impairments and esthetic deformities. Many approaches have been used for the repair of medial orbital wall fractures. It has been necessary to use grafts or splints in these approaches. We introduced a new technique to treat our patient with diplopia that resulted from a medial orbital fracture. In this new method that involves rotational repositioning of the fractured segment, there is no need for a graft from another location or synthetic material. This technique has several advantages compared with using synthetic materials or other types of autogenous grafts. However, the limitation of this method is that our technique cannot be applied to all cases of medial orbital wall fracture.
