How long does it take to recover from orbital fracture surgery?

Depending on the surgical repair material used, patients can usually resume normal activities within about three weeks after surgery. Orbital floor strength is mostly regained within 24 hours after the repair. During the recovery period, patients should avoid high-impact activities or risky sports that could result in a re-fracture of the area.

In conclusion, orbital fractures are quite common since the bones making up the orbit floor are quite thin and fragile. Some fractures heal on their own, but others require surgery with implants. Several types of implants are available, including titanium mesh. Orbital repair surgery is a short procedure with few side effects, and patients usually recover quickly.
