Abstract:
Objective:
To study the effect of absorbable material in the treatment of Trapdoor suborbital fracture in children.
Methods:
A total of 69 children with Trapdoor suborbital fracture were treated in Shenyang Fourth People's Hospital from Mar. 2015 to Mar. 2017. The clinical data of these children before and after surgery were analyzed and summarized, including visual function, ambiopa, eye movement, degree of ocular proptosis, and the CT results of orbit. A 6month followup was conducted to instruct the children to do eye muscle training.
Results:
After 6 months of treatment, ambiopa disappeared in 59 cases; there was no ambiopa in the front reading position or only a little residual ambiopa existed in the surrounding area in 7 cases; there was residual ambiopa in the front reading position in 3 cases. There was no exacerbation in ambiopa or the eye movement limitation in all the children. The difference in the degree of ocular proptosis of both eyes were within 2 mm in all the child patients. One child had permanent suborbital nerve damage. No children had rejection or infection after surgery.
Conclusion:Early use of absorbable material in the treatment of children with Trapdoor suborbital fracture and eye muscle training after surgery result in good recovery of children.
