Losee JE et al. - For type 1 (pure orbital) fractures, unless there is evidence of acute enophthalmos, vertical orbital dystopia, or muscle entrapment, a nonoperative approach is advocated. Type 2 (craniofacial) fractures should be followed with serial computed tomographic scans; and type 3 (common fracture patterns) fractures have a greater chance of requiring surgery.
