“…[10][11][12][13] Thus, in very many cases of orbital floor trapdoor fracture, the IO branch is thought to become incarcerated between the fracture pieces. Iliff et al 12 reported that owing to the anatomical characteristics of the IO branch, it was difficult for it not to be affected by a contusion injury in which IO palsy could become one of the causes of any ocular movement disorder.…”

“…Trapdoor-type inferior orbital wall fractures [5] often break out on the medial side of the infraorbital groove, that is, on the lateral side of the IR [9,10,11]. The MNJ of the IR is present almost centrally along the muscle width (fig.…”

Purpose: To examine both the distances from the orbital rim to the myoneural junctions (MNJs) and the widths of the MNJs of all extraocular muscles. Methods: Six orbits of 3 post-mortem cadavers were used. The cadavers (1 female and 2 males) were all Japanese with an average age of 76.3 years. The MNJs of the extraocular muscles and their motor nerves were exposed, and then the distance from the orbital rim to each MNJ and the width of each MNJ were examined. Results: The distance from the orbital rim to each MNJ in the 6 extraocular muscles ranged from 24.4 to 33.6 mm and the width of each MNJ ranged from 5.0 to 8.5 mm. Conclusions: It is essential for orbital surgeons to understand both the distance from the orbital rim to MNJs and the widths of MNJs. This information not only aids the understanding of MNJ damage, but also prevents iatrogenic nerve impairment during orbital surgery.

“…2,3 The advent of computed tomography (CT) narrowed the poles of the debate, and produced a fairly uniform protocol in the 1980s and 1990s. 4 This approach continues to be used in many centers. If the fracture is large, enophthalmos is anticipated and surgery is usually performed within the first 2 weeks.…”
