The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of surgical management of small versus large, isolated orbital floor fractures (OFFs) using polyglactin 910/polydioxanone (Ethisorb®). Covering a four-year period (2010–2013), all records concerning midfacial fractures with involvement of the orbit were screened. Isolated fractures of the orbital floor as well as combined injuries of the orbital floor and medial wall that had been treated surgically using polyglactin 910/polydioxanone (Ethisorb®) were included. Patients underwent a preoperative, a postoperative, and a late ophthalmologic assessment. The clinical outcomes of surgically managed small OFFs up to 2 cm2 were statistically analyzed and compared to clinical results in larger defects. The final sample included 61 patients (25 women, 36 men). Fractures up to 2 cm2 were found in 33 patients (54.1%), whereas 28 patients (45.9%) suffered from OFFs larger than 2 cm2. The clinical outcomes did not significantly differ between both sample categories, and statistical analysis showed a power of 0.91 to detect a potentially existing difference. On final examination, 52 patients were free of any clinical symptoms, whereas minor issues were found in seven subjects, and two patients suffered from severe impairment. In conclusion, polyglactin 910/polydioxanone (Ethisorb®) seems to be a suitable material for surgical repair of both small and large OFFs.

AbstractFractures of the orbital floor represent a common yet difficult to manage sequelae of craniomaxillofacial trauma. Repair of these injuries should be carried out with the goal of restoring normal orbital volume, facial contour, and ocular motility. Precise surgical repair is imperative to reduce the risk of long-term debilitating morbidity. This article aims to review concepts on the management of orbital floor fractures in the hope of further elucidating perioperative evaluation and decision-making regarding operative intervention.

A 3-year-old patient was referred to the oral and maxillofacial department with a fracture of the orbital floor. Due to the lack of clinical symptoms, a conservative approach was chosen. After 3 weeks, an enophthalmos developed. The orbital floor reconstruction was successfully performed through a transconjunctival approach. This case highlights the rarity of pure blowout fractures in young children. The specific presentation and diagnostics of orbital floor fractures in children and the related surgical planning and intervention are discussed.

Background: The question of reconstruction of human tissues and organs with the use of medical materials is still open, because of the accurate requirements for their biological and physical features. The aim of this study was to prove the efficiency of titanium nickelide constructors in treatment of isolated orbital floor fractures or combination with zygomatico-orbital complex fractures. Methods: Patients with a fracture of zygomatico-orbital complex and/or low orbital floor (n = 44) carried out different treatments: in the first group, osteosynthesis and endoprosthesis with titanium nickelide structures; in the second group, titan mini-plates osteosynthesis; in the third group (‘blow-out’), endoprosthesis with a titanium nickelide mesh; and in the fourth group (‘blow-out’), conservative treatment and monitoring (archive data) (p > 0.05). The paraesthesia, diplopia, enophthalmos and exophthalmos degree were measured in points. Results: In one year, the first and second groups had no differences in level of paraesthesia (p > 0.05). The absence of exophthalmos and differences between first and second groups, and between the third and the fourth groups with positive dynamics inside the groups were proved (p < 0.05). In the first and third groups, enophthalmos was absent, and it increased in the second and fourth groups (p < 0.01, p < 0.11). Diplopia in the first and third groups was absent, and it increased in the second and fourth groups (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). Conclusion: The elasticity and biocompatibility of titanium nickelide make the implant insertion and restoration of the lower orbital wall anatomy easier, with good postoperative clinical results.

Os traumas de face ocorrem por forças externas lesionando o corpo, podendo eles ser locais, gerais ou concomitantes. A etiologia do traumatismo orbitário é diversificada como: quedas, queimaduras e agressões, sendo considerada uma das principais causas de morte no mundo de acordo com Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS). As fraturas faciais podem se dividir em fraturas dos terço superior, terço médio e terço inferior. As fraturas do tipo Blow-outmantêm as margens orbitais integra, envolvendo apenas parede orbital inferior e ou média. Diplopia e enoftalmia são complicações bem características de traumas orbitais. O objetivo do artigo é identificar as principais lesões ocasionadas por fraturas orbitárias e apontar o diagnóstico e tratamento das lesões. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura do tipo descritiva, com os dados colhidos nas bases de dados PubMed, SciElo, Lilacs, Google Acadêmico, selecionando artigos entre o ano de 2008 – 2018, de língua inglesa, portuguesa e espanhola, disponíveis para download nas bases de dados citadas. Os exames de imagem como a Tomografia Computadorizada é de suma importância para o diagnóstico devido seu detalhamento. Alguns sinais clínicos são: diplopia, enoftalmia, hipoftalmia ou mobilidade muscular ocular prejudicada. O tratamento ainda varia muito entre os cirurgiões.Descritores: Diplopia; Fraturas Ósseas; Órbita; Traumatismo do Nervo Abducente; Nervo Óptico.ReferênciasRamos JC, Almeida MLD, Alencar YCG, de Sousa Filho LF, Figueiredo CHMC, Almeida MSC.

Obtaining postoperative images of maxillofacial fractures does not affect the clinical management of asymptomatic patients; however, few studies have evaluated the role of postoperative imaging in the context of orbital floor fractures. In this study, we evaluate current practice techniques and the role of postoperative imaging in the management of orbital floor fractures in isolation and with concomitant facial fractures. Retrospective review of patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation of orbital floor fractures between 2005 and 2015 at a single medical institution. Operative and perioperative records were reviewed to characterize postoperative imaging as routine or as indicated by concerning clinical symptoms, and to correlate clinical outcomes to postoperative imaging patterns across all identified orbital floor fractures. A total of 139 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation of orbital floor fractures. Of these, 75 (54%) had zygomaticomaxillary (ZMC) involvement. The remaining 64 (46%) were isolated orbital floor fractures. Overall, 54 (39%) patients underwent postoperative imaging. Of these, 38 (70%) had postoperative imaging in the absence of concerning clinical symptoms. There was no observed difference in complication rates in those who underwent postoperative imaging, and those who did not. Patients with orbital + ZMC fractures underwent a significantly higher number of postoperative imaging studies ( p < 0.001); however, there was no observed difference in complications between isolated orbital and orbital + ZMC fractures. Routine postoperative imaging is not warranted in the absence of persistent clinical symptoms following open reduction and internal fixation of orbital floor fractures.

SummaryA prospective study was made of 17 dogs with ununited anconeal process treated by osteotomy of the proximal ulna. The effect of the surgery on lameness was evaluated subjectively and the elbows were assessed radiographically for evidence of anconeal fusion and healing of the osteotomy. Whilst clinical outcome was generally good and complications infrequent, relatively few cases achieved anconeal fusion. These results do not compare well with the results of a previous study but this disparity may be due in part to differences in patient population and radiographic evaluation.Further work is required to establish how best to achieve predictable anconeal fusion.Proximal ulnar osteotomy was used to treat 17 dogs with ununited anconeal process. Clinical results were good but anconeal fusion was not achieved consistently. Further work is needed to determine how best to achieve predictable anconeal fusion.
