NCT03011047

Brief Summary

Aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of endoscopic trans-maxillary surgical approach versus traditional trans-orbital surgical approach (control group) in orbital blow out fractures in terms of postoperative clinical and digital radio-graphical assessments.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Diplopia resolution using Forced duction test positive/negative

    subjective patient assessment

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Fracture reduction Digital radiography (Cone beam CT)

    6 months

  • Enophthalmus correction. Digital radiography (Cone beam CT)

    6 months

Study Arms (2)

endoscopic trans-antral approach

EXPERIMENTAL

The maxillary sinus and prolapsed orbital contents will be visualized employing a 30-degree endoscope for the repair of orbital blow out fracture (sinus scope 4 mm, 30 degrees short one 17 cm).

Procedure: endoscopic trans-antral approach

trans-orbital surgical approach

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

trans-orbital surgical approach through the lower eyelid Sub-ciliary incision ( through the lower eyelid) The skin incision is made just below the eyelashes.

Procedure: trans-orbital surgical approach

Interventions

new surgical approach to repair the orbital floor fractures through the maxillary sinus

Also known as: trans-maxillary
endoscopic trans-antral approach

through the lower eyelid below the eyelashes ,then down to bone the herniated orbital content will be reduced through this incision traditional surgical approach to repair orbital floor fractures

Also known as: sub-ciliary incision, lower eyelid incision, skin incision
trans-orbital surgical approach

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with unilateral/bilateral orbital blow out fractures.
  • Positive forced-duction test. ( to ensure the muscular entrapment).

You may not qualify if:

  • Medical condition affecting bone healing.
  • Medically compromised conditions, not proper candidate for general anesthesia.
  • Tumor case encroaching on the orbital floor.
  • Pathological orbital blow out fractures.
  • Allergy/ metal hypersensitivity.
