Orbital wall fracture repair is a procedure used to treat fractures in the bones of the eye socket, also known as the orbit, which may occur due to trauma or injury. These fractures can lead to symptoms such as vision changes, double vision, eye misalignment, and difficulty moving the eye. The surgery involves repositioning or replacing the fractured orbital walls and may include the use of plates or mesh to stabilize the bones.
Orbital wall fracture repair is typically performed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon will carefully realign the bones to restore the eye socket’s normal structure and function. This procedure is highly effective in improving vision, eye movement, and cosmetic appearance.
Recovery time for orbital wall fracture repair can vary, but patients usually experience significant improvements in eye function and reduced symptoms following surgery.
