Abstract
Background/Aims To ascertain factors associated with persistent diplopia after orbital fracture reconstruction. Methods In this retrospective study, we reviewed 798 cases with depressed fragment fracture at the Department of Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Hospital between January 2009 and November 2023. The restriction of extraocular movements and diplopia was assessed using the Hess area ratio (HAR). The factors for HAR% ≥85% before surgery and 6 months after surgery were assessed. Results Of the 798 cases in this study, 437 cases (54.8%) had an HAR% of ≥85%, and 361 cases (45.2%) had an HAR% of <85% before surgery. Age ≤18 years old (p=0.017), orbital tissue herniation volume
期刊介绍:
The British Journal of Ophthalmology (BJO) is an international peer-reviewed journal for ophthalmologists and visual science specialists. BJO publishes clinical investigations, clinical observations, and clinically relevant laboratory investigations related to ophthalmology. It also provides major reviews and also publishes manuscripts covering regional issues in a global context.
