Effectiveness of a nasoseptal cartilaginous graft for repairing traumatic fractures of the inferior orbital wall

All patients were treated successfully by restoration of the continuity of the orbital floor. Six months to 2 years follow up showed only one patient with postoperative enophthalmos. There was no donor site morbidity, and no grafts became infected or extruded. The nasoseptal graft was completely covered with underlying tissue. Nasoseptal cartilage is readily accessible autogenous tissue that should be considered when an autogenous graft is needed for reconstruction of a defect of the orbital floor.
