“…Although the rates of causes of injuries are affected by socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the target population, 52 recent large population studies performed in the US, UK, Italy, and Germany showed that assault is the most common mechanism of injury, followed by falls and traffic accidents. [52][53][54][55][56][57] In Japan, assault is a less common mechanism of injury, while falls and sports are the more common ones. 51 Since the safety for driving is improving due to advanced technology, the rate of traffic accidents is gradually decreasing.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review the mechanisms in the development of orbital fractures. Methods: This is a comprehensive literature review that summarizes the mechanisms of developing orbital fractures. Results: There are 3 proposed mechanisms in the development of orbital fractures, which include the buckling, hydraulic, and globe-to-wall contact mechanisms. These mechanisms, as well as patient age, causes of injuries, and periorbital anatomy, influence the extent, sites, and patterns of orbital fractures. Conclusion: A deeper understanding of these mechanisms helps us to detect and properly manage orbital fractures in the clinical setting.

“…After operation, multiple complications may occur, such as diplopia, skin scar, eyelid malposition, implant infection or hematoma, which seriously affect the quality of life of patients [2]. Although many scholars have reported the related complications after orbital fracture surgery [3,4]. However, systematic analysis of different types and causes of complications after orbital fracture surgery is rare.…”

Objective To analyze the types and causes of complications after orbital fracture reconstruction, and improve the ability of clinicians to control or prevent orbital fracture complications. Methods A retrospective case series analysis was conducted, and the clinical data of patients with orbital fractures who were treated in the Affiliated Eye Hospital of Nanchang University from May 2012 to May 2022 and underwent surgical treatment were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Descriptive statistics were used to record the common postoperative complications and follow-up was done, and the complications that still existed after at least 6 months of follow-up were recorded. Results Among the 227 patients who underwent orbital fracture surgery, they were followed up for 6–36 months, and complications occurred in 15 cases, with an incidence rate of 6.61%. Among them, implant material infection and rejection occurred in 4 cases, persistent diplopia occurred in 3 cases, intraorbital hematoma occurred in 2 cases, epiphora occurred in 2 cases, lower eyelid eversion or retraction occurred in 2 cases, and skin scars occurred in 2 cases. The main reason for postoperative infection is chronic inflammation in the paranasal sinuses or closed cavity in the fracture area. Postoperative complications of orbital fractures are related to various factors such as the timing of surgery, surgical approach, repair materials, surgical skills, and surgical auxiliary techniques. Conclusion Standardizing the operation method and applying precise auxiliary technology may help to reduce the occurrence of complications and improve the success rate of the operation.
