Orbital fractures commonly occur in maxillofacial trauma causing enophthalmos and diplopia. If not properly managed the cosmetic and functional problems can virtually become untreatable. In recent years, management of these fractures has been standardized with special emphasis on methods of treatment, timing and materials used for reduction.
