Blowout fractures




These types of fracture are the most common facial fracture on second to broken nose. These types of fractures occur after a direct blow to the orbit. This is a very dangerous situation that could result in blindness in the affected eye. Damage to the optic nerve and optic globe are huge concerns that must be remedied quickly to speed of recovery and have less chance of permanent damage. The pictures seen here represent a orbital fracture and a way to repair the damage with a mesh to help reform the orbit.
