The Evaluation of Complications of Titanium Mesh Reconstruction in Orbital Floor Fractures

Abstract

The orbit is the bony socket of the eye encloses and protects the eye and its appendages. The configuration of the bony structure of the orbit is that of a pyramid with its base facing anteriorly, with each orbit having an intrabony volume of approximately 35 ml. Each bony orbit is composed of seven bones (frontal bone, zygomatic bone, maxilla bone, lacrimal bone, ethmoid bone, sphenoid bone and palatine bone) (Fonseca, 2013). In craniomaxillofacial trauma orbital structures are involved in up to 40% of the cases due to its exposed position and its limited bone thickness (Hoffmann et al., 1998).
