| Abstract | ||||
| Introduction Orbital floor fractures have been recognised as an entity since the first case reported by Lang in 1989. 1 The term blowout fracture was coined in 1957 by Drs. Byron Smith and William Regan to describe a hydraulic fracture of the orbit resulting from an object slightly larger than the circumference of the orbit.2 The mechanism involved in these injuries has not yet been completely defined. Two theories have been described, which seem to be mutually exclusive. They are named as the buckling and hydraulic theories 3 | ||||
