Orbital fractures are very common. There is an increasing frequency of orbital fractures being repaired at the Roxbury Clinic & Surgery Center in Beverly Hills, CA. Orbital fractures are becoming frequently more common in older individuals who may fall and suffer a trauma to the region of their eye.
By nature of the design of the globe and bony orbital frame, the bone tends to fracture first to prevent damage to the eye itself. Repair of the bony defect is often required for greater than 1 square cm defects and/or defects comprising greater than 50% of the floor of the orbit.
