When the lateral wall is incompletely separated in Le Fort 3 osteotomy, irregular fracture can develop inside the orbit and involve the optic canal during the down-fracturing process. Hence, the lateral orbital wall should be completely separated to avoid potential blindness due to optic canal injury.
