[Posttraumatic orbital defect correction with bone autografts]. / Ustranenie posttravmaticheskikh defektov glaznitsy s primeneniem kostnykh autotransplantatov.

The aim of the study was the assessment of safety of posttraumatic orbital defect correction with bone autografts. The study comprised 69 patients divided in 2 groups: 21 patients with isolated orbital floor and medial wall deformities and 48 patients with complex midface injuries. Membranous bone autografts were used for deformities correction along with soft tissues hypercorrection with a mix of bone chips and platelet rich plasms. The paper presents diagnostic algorithm for orbital trauma patients. Correction of complex midfacial injuries in group 2 resulted in restricted ocular mobility and increase in diplopy square. Subciliary approach caused lower lid retraction deteriorating esthetic results of the surgery. Ocular vessels hemodynamics showed improvement 1 year after surgery.
