Abstract

Trauma to the orbital floor is often associated with trauma to the inferior rectus muscle. The currently available options yield inconsistent postoperative results. The authors describe a new technique in which the globe was fixed to the inferior orbital margin with the help of a silicone band and titanium orbital plate.
