Classifications and Theories of Orbital Fractures: A Review of Literature
Abstract
Orbital fractures occur in isolation or may even be associated with other maxillofacial injuries. The classifications of these fractures are dispersed in literature and an encompassing review of classifications is unavailable. The authors thus attempt to comprehensively review the classifications of orbital fractures while also reviewing the historical background and etiologic theories of the same.
