Abstract
The shape and structure of the orbital floor is complex and familiarity with its geometry is essential to understanding the treatment of orbital fractures. The orbital floor and medial orbital wall are delicate and prone to injury, either in isolation (blowout fractures), or in combination with the adjacent supporting bones (zygomaticomaxillary/nasoethmoid fractures).
For a more detailed review of this topic see Atlas of Operative Maxillofacial Trauma Surgery by M Perry and S Holmes.
