Conchal Cartilage in Surgical Reconstruction of Orbital Floor Fracture.

According to Kim and Jeong (2016), isolated orbital fractures are encountered in 4-16% of all facial fractures, and orbital fractures composed approximately 30--55% of the zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) and naso-orbital-ethmoid (NOE) fractures. The ideal material for orbital floor fracture repair is one that is resorbable, osteoconductive, resistant to infection, minimally reactive, does not induce capsule formation, has a half-life that allows significant bone in-growth to occur, and is cheap and readily available. In this article, we report a case of a young female with an orbital floor fracture managed surgically using conchal cartilage and a review of literature.
