Pediatric orbital fractures in Singapore: demographics, etiology, and the role of bioresorbable implants

Although simple pediatric orbital blowout fractures are still the most common among pediatric patients, the study showed that a quarter of them presented with complex orbitofacial fractures requiring multidisciplinary management. Most fractures occurred in males and typically associated with increasing play and physical activity in teenagers. The study also showed that early intervention is crucial to better outcome, with the increasing role of bioresorbable implants in this population reducing long term implant related complications.
