Orbital fractures are indicated for surgery, and most orbital fractures do not require surgery. If there is a sunken eye that affects the appearance, eye movement disorders or double vision, these are clear indications for surgery for orbital fractures. One of the indications for orbital depression is that surgery is done only after 2 weeks of trauma with more than 2 to 3 mm of entropion. The number of millimeters of invagination here is also necessary for surgery only if it affects the cosmetic appearance. Otherwise, the so-called several millimeters of invagination are just numbers, which are meaningless to the patient. And because of the difference in the doctor’s technique and proficiency, the measured degree of invagination may also be different. So as a patient you do not have to worry about a few millimeters of invagination, you are concerned about whether the appearance is acceptable on the line. It is difficult to estimate the amount of surgery before the surgery is done. The edema does not completely subside until 2 to 3 weeks after the trauma. Sometimes the edema of the eyelid is all gone in about 1 week, but the intraorbital tissues are not completely swollen, and some muscle paralysis has not returned, so there may still be eye movement disorders or diplopia. However, after 2 weeks or even longer, the extraocular muscle paralysis disappears and diplopia will disappear. So doing surgery before 2 weeks will deprive the patient of the chance to recover naturally. If the patient can recover naturally, there is certainly no need to go into the operating room to receive that cut. After a fracture, a local hematoma and granulation tissue will develop, which will then become fibrotic, and only after 2 weeks will osteoblasts appear and gradually form bone-like tissue. After that, it takes 4-8 weeks for the bony scab to form, and then another 8-12 weeks for the scab to transform into bone tissue that can withstand normal external forces. Therefore, from the perspective of the fracture healing process, there is no question that the fracture has already healed abnormally or that it is difficult to operate with tissue adhesions after 2 weeks of surgery. Surgery within 2 weeks will give the patient another surgical trauma while the traumatic pathological changes caused by the first trauma are still in progress. At this time, the orbital tissues are edematous and fragile, making it very easy to cause major trauma and bleeding again. We believe that orbital fractures can be operated on within 2 weeks to 2 months. A special case here is the cyanotic fracture in children, and if there is soft tissue impaction (which is characteristic of fractures in children and difficult to occur in adults), most experts advocate that it can be considered early, at least within 1 week.
