Orbital floor fractures were investigated and described by MacKenzie in Paris in 1844 [17] and the term blow out fracture was coined in 1957 by Smith & Regan, [31] who were investigating injuries to the orbit and resultant inferior rectus entrapment, by placing a hurling ball on cadaverous orbits and striking it with a mallet.In the 1970s an ...
Fractures with displacement require surgery consisting of fracture reduction with miniplates, microplates and screws. Gillie's approach is used for depressed zygomatic fractures. [5] The prognosis of tripod fractures is generally good. In some cases there may be persistent post-surgical facial asymmetry, which can require further treatment. [6]

When zygoma fractures occur, the most typical symptoms are paresthesias in the upper lip, nose, cheek, and lower eyelid, diplopia, and pain.Particular physical characteristics that support zygomatic fracture include globe injury, impaired ocular motility, globe malposition, orbital emphysema, trismus, palpable stepoffs at the inferior or upper lateral edge of the orbit, reduced feeling ...
Enophthalmos is a posterior displacement of the eyeball within the orbit. It is due to either enlargement of the bony orbit and/or reduction of the orbital content, this in relation to each other. [1] It should not be confused with its opposite, exophthalmos, which is the anterior displacement of the eye.
In a UK study involving nearly 6000 fractures seen in hospital, 3.6% were broken toes. [10] Fractures of big toes make up about a fifth [3] or third [8] of all toe fractures, and 5.5% of all foot and ankle fractures in major US trauma hospitals. [10] Toe fractures are the most common foot fractures. [8] About 20% of broken toes involve open ...
Nutcracker fracture refers to the comminuted fracture of the cuboid bone of the foot. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] If treated improperly, it can lead to lateral column shortening and significant pain. [ 4 ] Nutcracker fracture is rare because of the relatively protected position of cuboid in the midfoot.
Le Fort fractures, which account for 10–20% of facial fractures, are often associated with other serious injuries. [15] Le Fort made his classifications based on work with cadaver skulls, and the classification system has been criticized as imprecise and simplistic since most midface fractures involve a combination of Le Fort fractures.
