Whatever you say, a person's appearance is of great importance in life, although some try to convince others of the opposite. A person with some external shortcomings does not cause an instant location, and he has to be won with the help of internal qualities. Another thing is a pleasant appearance, devoid of defects, which can serve as an excellent business card when making a new acquaintance.
Unfortunately, everyday life is not devoid of dangerous situations in which it is possible to get some kind of injury, fracture or injury. In such cases, do not hesitate to consult a doctor.
Injuries
People with a traumatized area of the face become frequent patients of medical institutions. Unfortunately, physical injury is common, as is a fracture of the orbital bone. Throwing out the accumulated anger and fatigue, few people think about the possible consequences of a thoughtless outburst of their emotions. Of course, there can be many reasons for such damage: car accidents, accidental collisions, falls, conflictsituations, injuries of a sports nature, violence… Regardless of what the injury occurred, you should immediately contact a specialist for an objective assessment of the state of he alth. Often, with any physical shock, people make their own diagnosis and seek medical advice only in emergency cases, for example, with a concussion. But, as you know, many diagnoses and terms have been studied today, and they can cause no less harm than those that are already known. You should always be careful about your he alth and carefully examine the face after injury, as the consequences of a blow can lead to a fracture of the orbit.
Where is it?
In order to understand where the orbital bone is, it is enough to study the structure of the cranial region. Intracranial special recesses serve as the basis for placing the eyes. The facial covering of the skeleton serves as protection for the eyes from harmful environmental factors.
The orbit itself consists of wall surfaces. They are divided into frontal and sphenoid bones. If the injury is inflicted in the zone separating the eyeball from the cranial fossa located in front, then in this situation it will be considered craniocerebral.
How dangerous is a fracture in this area?
There is a kind of inner wall between the orbit of the eye and the ethmoid nasal cavity. It is considered the dividing line. The presence of any pathological disorders in this area signals a probable danger of the spread of inflammatory diseases.processes (edematous or infectious) on the eye. The cheekbones, palate and upper jaw are accompanied by the formation of the lower surface, which is the maxillary sinus, its thickness varies from 0.7 to 1.2 mm. All this ultimately causes a pathological transition from the sinus canals to the eye. At the very top of the eye surface there is a hole designed for visual effects. The optic nerve exits through it. The orbit contains the eye, fatty tissue, ligaments, blood vessels, nerve endings, muscle tissue, and the lacrimal gland.
Fractured eye socket
Often, a fracture of the orbital bone covers the main parts of the orbit: the frontal, temporal, zygomatic, maxilla and bone parts of the nasal region. In case of any damage, it is necessary to carry out a professional examination, examining the injuries received.
Any kind of skull fracture is always followed by an irreversible concussion. A fracture of the orbit entails a consequence of a blow to the eyeball. The structure of the skull is a rather subtle system, entailing a lot of unpleasant consequences with a careless attitude and an incorrect, risky lifestyle. This type of injury has its own name - "explosive".
Damage to the lower zone of the orbit is often not separated. Basically, there is a holistic injury to the inner, outer and maxillary walls of the eye canals.
Fracture symptoms
How to determine the fracture of the orbital bone? Doctors identify the following symptoms:
- swelling, eyeball stiffness and pain;
- shock state with elements of blurred vision;
- decrease in the level of sensitivity of the infraorbital nerve, and therefore the backs of the nose, cheeks, eyelids, upper teeth and gums;
- split field of view;
- ptosis (flattening of the eyelid);
- in case of serious injuries - displacement of the eyeball;
- bleeding and internal bleeding;
- presence of air in the subcutaneous area and visible bubbles in the tissues.
What should a person do with such an injury?
If a fracture of the orbital bone is not found, infection complications may occur. Since the mucous secretions of the nasal cavity affect the orbit with a special aggravation of an already problematic situation.
The orbital bone of the face with a similar diagnosis needs immediate first aid, namely, disinfectant treatment with an antiseptic. During the first examination by the surgeon, special attention should be paid to the excision of contaminated edges, damaged facial skin. Only in this way can further development of infection and complications during recovery be avoided.
You can seek advice or restore anatomical structures in the first three days after the injury. A fracture of the orbital bone of the eye does not always require surgical intervention, but an examination by an intelligent specialist will once again confirm a responsible attitude to one's he alth. Such fractures are classified as serious bodily injuries, after which the victim may loseability to work or even remain disabled.
In some cases, if the orbital bone is broken, an X-ray is required to determine the severity of the problem in the patient. After that, the doctor makes an accurate diagnosis, and also decides what to do in this particular case.
In the future, shortcomings in appearance can always be corrected with the help of plastic surgery, but it is better, of course, to protect yourself and your loved ones from accidents with horrifying consequences. Stay he althy!
