Evaluation of a computed-tomography-based assessment scheme in treatment decision-making for isolated orbital floor fractures

Our clinical assessment scheme for CT scans of orbital floor fractures is aimed at facilitating treatment decision making using four CT-based variables. As critical size defects of the orbital floor of ≥2 cm2 are likely to cause clinically significant posterior displacement of the globe, resulting in enophthalmos, the proposed parameters offer a readily accessible and easy to evaluate scheme that helps to identify patients in need of surgical intervention.
