Abstract:
Surgical treatment of combined orbital floor and medial wall fractures involving inferomedial strut can be technically challenging because of absent peripheral bony support for implants. These fractures were conventionally reconstructed with some implants for reconstruction of inferior and medial wall through the external approach. Preparing accurate 3-dimentional implants is time-consuming and inserting large implants through a limited incision site is also troublesome. The authors present two cases of this type of fracture that are successfully repaired using a new strategy by separately repairing the medial and inferior wall combined with inferomedial strut reduction.
