The possible treatments for dislocated fractures of the orbital roof range from reduction of the fracture fragments, and reconstruction and stabilisation with miniplates, to plastic surgery using autologous bone. Between 1988 and 1994, 105 patients treated in the Department of Neurosurgery of the Landesnervenklinik Salzburg were operated on transcranially for fractures of the orbital roof. The methods of treatment, the timing of treatment, and the results are discussed. It is shown that even in severely injured patients the results were good in 83 patients (79%).
