Key Points

  • This research compares the outcomes of early and delayed repair for orbital blowout fractures to assess their effectiveness and safety.
  • Conducted a single-center study
  • Compared outcomes of early intervention (within 4 weeks) and delayed intervention (after 4 weeks)
  • Evaluated functional, cosmetic, and neurosensory outcomes
  • Analyzed operative risks associated with different treatment timings.
  • No significant differences in functional, cosmetic, or neurosensory outcomes between early and delayed repairs
  • Delayed repair option remains effective without increased operative risks
  • Patients presenting with late symptoms still achieve satisfactory results with delayed intervention.

Abstract

Delayed BOF repair conducted after 4 weeks achieved equivalent functional, cosmetic, and neurosensory outcomes compared with early intervention, with no increase in operative risks. Delayed repair remains a viable and effective option for patients presenting with persistent diplopia or late-onset enophthalmos.
