“…We think that this difference occurred because of the socioeconomic and cultural differences of the local population studied. [1][2][3] In the epidemiological literature, it has been reported that the principal etiology of orbital fractures was traffic accidents, followed by, in decreasing order of frequency, physical assault, sports injuries and falls. [9,10] In their review, Cruz and Eichenberger [11] indicated that the most common cause of orbital fractures in urban areas is traffic accidents.…”

“…[9,10] In their review, Cruz and Eichenberger [11] indicated that the most common cause of orbital fractures in urban areas is traffic accidents. The study conducted by Shere et al [3] on American soldiers determined that assault was the most frequent etiology, followed by traffic accidents. The etiology of orbital fractures in our cases was traffic accidents, assaults and falls, in order of decreasing frequency.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze retrospectively 196 patients whose facial fractures were treated in our clinic and to investigate the relationships between the severity score and fracture type and the etiology. (2004)(2005)(2006)(2007) period and were found at least one facial fracture in their maxillofacial bones after the radiological examination, have been evaluated in this study. One-way ANOVA test and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Materials and methods:Results: As a result of performed one-way ANOVA test, It is found that mechanism of trauma is important for estimation in severity score of facial injury (p<0.001) but when the Chi-square test was applied for statistical analysisno significant relationship between the mechanism of trauma and patterns of fracture was found (p>0.05). Conclusion:Trauma mechanism was found as effective on fracture severity, however no relationship was found between etiology of trauma and fracture type.

“…4,31 Shere et al 31 found that 14.1% of blowout fractures were the result of sports in a military population. This was the third most common source in a study of 1141 blowout fractures in United States Army Soldiers over a 20-year period.…”

Study Design: Case report. Objectives: To identify key elements in the recognition and management of a patient with an orbital blowout fracture and make recommendations on diagnosis, treatment, referral, imaging, and return to sports. Background: Orbital blowout fractures are uncommon but important injuries for physical therapists to recognize. Immediate management is essential in preventing complications. The mechanism of injury is a direct blow to the orbital rim or orbit. Case Description: The patient reported to the athletic training room 15 minutes after completing a boxing match and reported that his left eye had suddenly inflated after blowing his nose. We suspected an orbital blowout fracture and referred him immediately to the emergency department where conventional radiographs were ordered. On follow-up the next day, after determining that the radiographs were normal, but still having a high index of suspicion for an orbital blowout fracture, we referred him to his primary care manager. The primary care manager ordered a computed tomography scan that revealed the fracture and referred the patient to ophthalmology. Outcomes: The patient was restricted from the remaining 4 weeks of the boxing season. He completed a rigorous Army physical fitness test 7 days postinjury and the Marine Corps Marathon 47 days postinjury. Discussion: Orbital blowout fractures without double vision, extraocular muscle entrapment, or persistent numbness can be treated with time and protection. The patient can continue with normal fitness activities except contact or collision sports.
