Orbital fractures are one of the most commonly seen facial fractures, caused by blunt trauma in road traffic accicents. The floor of the orbit gets affected more commonly than the other walls. Patients usually complain of enophthalmus or diplopia. In certain cases, medical management would suffice but in most situations, surgical management becomes mandatory to prevent loss of vision for the patient. Auto genous grafts and allografts can be used. The latter is preferred. Recently, resorbable plates and mesh are used and has proven to be successful.
