| Popis: | Orbital fractures are frequently accompanied by ocular injury. Any findings that provide information for diagnosing a concurrent ocular injury should improve patient care. A greater incidence of severe ocular injury with certain fracture types was hypothesized, based on orbital wall thickness.A retrospective review of 87 consecutive patients (107 fractured orbits) was performed by the Ophthalmology Department of an urban Level 1 trauma center.Severe injuries were associated with orbital apex fractures (p = 0.00001), with lateral wall fractures (p0.04), and with Le Fort Type III fractures (p0.02). Moderate injuries were associated with isolated orbital floor fractures (p0.01). Apex, lateral wall, and Le Fort Type III fractures have a greater association with severe ocular injuries than other fracture types. |
