The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of surgical management of small versus large, isolated orbital floor fractures (OFFs) using polyglactin 910/polydioxanone (Ethisorb ® ). Covering a four-year period (2010-2013), all records concerning midfacial fractures with involvement of the orbit were screened. Isolated fractures of the orbital floor as well as combined injuries of the orbital floor and medial wall that had been treated surgically using polyglactin 910/polydioxanone (Ethisorb ® ) were included. Patients underwent a preoperative, a postoperative, and a late ophthalmologic assessment. The clinical outcomes of surgically managed small OFFs up to 2 cm 2 were statistically analyzed and compared to clinical results in larger defects. The final sample included 61 patients (25 women, 36 men). Fractures up to 2 cm 2 were found in 33 patients (54.1%), whereas 28 patients (45.9%) suffered from OFFs larger than 2 cm 2 . The clinical outcomes did not significantly differ between both sample categories, and statistical analysis showed a power of 0.91 to detect a potentially existing difference. On final examination, 52 patients were free of any clinical symptoms, whereas minor issues were found in seven subjects, and two patients suffered from severe impairment. In conclusion, polyglactin 910/polydioxanone (Ethisorb ® ) seems to be a suitable material for surgical repair of both small and large OFFs.
