Objectives: Lower lid approaches are vulnerable to several complications as they disrupt the complex anatomy of the lower
palpebrae. Currently intra-oral approaches are replacing those standard approaches, but unfortunately, they suffer limitations
in their accessibility. Thus, we aim to evaluate the intraoral approach in management of infraorbital rim fracture considering
exposure and complications.
Patients and Methods: Twelve patients suffering displaced infraorbital rim fracture. All patients diagnosed clinically and
radiographically, then treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Examined parameters were exposure extent and
complications (edema, and patient satisfaction).
Conclusion: Intraoral approach is a valid technique for reduction and fixation of infraorbital rim. It permits enough exposure
with minimal complications and maximal patient satisfaction.
