Abstract
Long-established posttraumatic enophthalmos with a seeing eye is a correctable deformity. A method utilizing principles of craniofacial surgery is described that provides the advantages of (1) wide exposure, (2) free mobilization of the displaced zygoma, (3) direct inspection of the orbital defect, and (4) restoration of the balance between the orbital contents and bony surroundings, which allows (5) the permanent correction of traumatic enophthalmos using autogenous material.Entities:
