[Surgical and orthopedic treatment methods in orbital defects and deformities].

On the basis of their own clinical material the authors distinguish five kinds of defects and deformations of the orbit and give well-grounded recommendations for choosing the methods of prosthetics and plastic operations for each of them. The authors emphasize that the necessary condition of successful elimination of defects of the orbit is the joint work of a maxillofacial surgeon and an orthopedist. Good cosmetic results were obtained when using complex surgical and orthopedic treatment of 12 patients.
