Comparison of Transconjunctival and Sub Ciliary Approaches in the Treatment of Infraorbital Bone Fractures: A Clinical Study.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to compare transconjunctival and sub ciliary incision in the treatment of infraorbital rim and floor fractures, 20 patients with fractures of the infraorbital bone were selected and divided into 2 groups randomly. Group I patients were treated by transconjunctival approach and group II patients were treated by sub ciliary approach. The following parameters were compared a) duration of exposure b) intraoperative and postoperative complications; c) appearance of scar at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperatively. Results obtained were, Transconjunctival approach takes more time compared to sub ciliary. Post-operative appearance of scar and complications were less in group I compared to group II which was statistically significant (p< 0.05). In this study transconjunctival approach gives better esthetic results and fewer post-operative complications compared to sub ciliary approach, but is technique sensitive.
