The Simple Calculating Method of Fracture Area in Orbital Fracture

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to present the authors experience that simple calculating method of fracture area in blow out fracture. Authors set up a hypothesis that fracture shape is a isosceles triangle, rectangle or diamond shape. It was enable easily to calculating of fracture area with 2D facial CT scan only. Enophthalmos and fracture area of 22 patients was made inspection. We verified our experimental results with student t-test. We first concluded that new simple calculating method is usful but, need further evaluations and patients.
