Residual diplopia (RD) is the main post-treatment complication of orbital bone fracture (OBF) reduction. The cause of RD is varied and often related to the degree of inflammation, surgical timing, graft requirement, and trauma to orbital musculature, fat, as well as nerves. The exact prevalence of these and the influence of these factors on RD is not widely reported in literature.
