Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- anatomical reduction of the fracture [one month]
reduction of the fractured segment and restore the normal orbital volume and contents . assessment of reduction by measuring the changes in the orbital volume using computed tomography
Secondary Outcome Measures
- improvement of symptoms [6 to 12 months]
improvement of the patient complaints as diplopia and enophthalmos using questionnaire
