[4] The hinged orbital blowout fracture is a fracture with an edge of the fractured bone attached on either side. [5]

The orbital lamina of ethmoid bone (or lamina papyracea or orbital lamina) is a smooth, oblong, [citation needed] paper-thin [1] bone plate [citation needed] which forms the lateral wall of the labyrinth of the ethmoid bone.
