Abstract

When the external force was applied to the orbit the most thin area might be displaced. These were usually orbital floor and/or medial wall of orbit. Among these cases some who showed the entrapment of the muscle between the fractured fragments needed the surgical treatment. We had operated 4 cases of the "blow-out" fracture via subciliary approach. The entrapped muscles were freed from fragments and the bony defect was restored with micro-titanium mesh. Mean follow-up periods was 15 months and there were no complication observed.
