Current Management of Late Posttraumatic Enophthalmos.

Abstract

After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Describe the orbital anatomy and completely understand the important components relevant to surgical correction of enophthalmos, including oculo-orbito relations. 2. Understand the pathophysiology and predictive factors for posttraumatic enophthalmos and identify the challenges associated with correction of enophthalmos in the late setting. 3. Develop a surgical plan for late enophthalmos repair and understand the value and utility of osteotomies, intraoperative navigation, and patient-specific implants. 4. Discuss the expected outcomes, possible complications, and adjunctive surgery as related to late enophthalmos repair. This article addresses the current management of late posttraumatic enophthalmos. In this article, the authors describe surgically relevant orbital anatomy and oculo-orbital relations, the pathophysiology of enophthalmos, clinical and radiologic findings, decision-making in management, and surgical treatment. The authors attempt to cover some of the main challenges and recent advances in the management of late posttraumatic enophthalmos, including intraoperative navigation and patient-specific implants.
