"Trap Door" Orbital Floor Fractures in Adults: Are They Different from Pediatric Fractures?

Background: "Trap door" orbital floor fractures are usually seen in children. In the linear fracture type, a break occurs in the bones of the orbital floor that permits orbital tissue to prolapse into the fracture site during fracture formation. The bony fragments of the fracture then return to their original position, entrapping the prolapsed orbital tissue.

The use of interosseous dental wires and sutures for internal fixation in a patient with multiple comminuted middle facial fractures and facial nerve injury: A demonstrative case report.
