Fracture of orbital floor, left side, initial encounter for closed fracture. S02.32XA is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM S02.32XA became effective on October 1, 2018.
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.

An orbital socket fracture is also called an eye socket fracture. Multiple parts of the eye socket can break at the same time, especially when the fracture is caused by a hard hit to your face. Different types of orbital socket fractures include: Rim fractures.
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.
By definition, the orbit (bony orbit or orbital cavity) is a skeletal cavity comprised of seven bones situated within the skull. The cavity surrounds and provides mechanical protection for the eye and soft tissue structures related to it.
The orbital floor is the shortest of all the walls; it does not reach the orbital apex, measures 35-40 mm, and terminates at the posterior edge of the maxillary sinus. The bones that contribute to the structure of the orbit.
The anterior edge of the bony orbit, or eye socket, formed by the maxilla and zygomatic bone inferiorly and the frontal bone superiorly.
A blowout fracture is a break of one or more of the bones that surround the eye. When an object strikes the eye, the force is transmitted into the eye compartment (orbit) [see figure 1], and the thinnest bones within the orbit will buckle or break from the force of the trauma.
There are seven orbital bones that make up this structure: the frontal, sphenoid, zygomatic, ethmoid, lacrimal, palatine and maxilla bones. Each of these plays a role in keeping the eyeball protected. Though small, the orbital bones are quite strong to protect the eye inside the head.
The orbit is the bony cavity in the skull that houses the globe of the eye (eyeball), the muscles that move the eye (the extraocular muscles), the lacrimal gland, and the blood vessels and nerves required to supply these structures.
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.
