You may need surgery if the fracture results in bone fragments, trapped eye muscles, or injuries that affect appearance. The prognosis for most orbital fractures is good. Even orbital fractures that require surgery have a high success rate and a low risk of complications or adverse side effects.
Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the injury and the type of fracture, but include:
Orbital Floor Fractures

Orbital Fracture and Traumatic Injury. Orbital fractures are breaks in any of the bones surrounding the eye area (also known as the orbit or eye socket). These fractures are almost always a result of a blunt force trauma injury, whether by accident or from sports.
Orbital floor fracture This is when a blow or trauma to the orbital rim pushes the bones back, causing the bones of the eye socket floor buckle to downward. This fracture can also affect the muscles and nerves around the eye, keeping it from moving properly and feeling normal.
A blowout fracture is an isolated fracture of the orbital walls without compromise of the orbital rims. [3] The common mechanisms are falls, high-velocity ball-related sports, traffic accidents, and interpersonal violence.
An orbital blowout fracture is a traumatic deformity of the orbital floor or medial wall, typically resulting from impact of a blunt object larger than the orbital aperture, or eye socket.
The orbital (eye) socket is a set of bones that surround and protect your eye. The bones around the eye form the walls and floor — sides and bottom — of the orbital socket and vary in thickness. The rim is made from thick bones that are difficult to break.
Indirect orbital floor fracture. The impact leaves the bony rim of the socket intact but causes a hole in the floor of the eye socket. This hole can trap muscles, nerves, or other tissues, which makes it difficult for the eye to move and causes vision problems.
The most common fractures involve the medial wall of the orbit formed by the lamina papyracea of the ethmoid bone and the floor of the orbit that separates this space from the maxillary sinus.
Fractures of the orbital floor are common: it is estimated that about 10% of all facial fractures are isolated orbital wall fractures (the majority of these being the orbital floor), and that 30-40% of all facial fractures involve the orbit. The anatomy of the orbital floor predisposes it to fracture.
