| Abstract | ||||
| Objectives: Lower lid approaches are vulnerable to several complications as they disrupt the complex anatomy of the lower palpebrae. Currently intra-oral approaches are replacing those standard approaches, but unfortunately, they suffer limitations in their accessibility. Thus, we aim to evaluate the intraoral approach in management of infraorbital rim fracture considering exposure and complications. Patients and Methods: Twelve patients suffering displaced infraorbital rim fracture. All patients diagnosed clinically and radiographically, then treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Examined parameters were exposure extent and complications (edema, and patient satisfaction). Conclusion: Intraoral approach is a valid technique for reduction and fixation of infraorbital rim. It permits enough exposure with minimal complications and maximal patient satisfaction. | ||||
