What is orbital floor fracture?

An orbital floor is the bony lower part of the eye socket that functions as the roof of the maxillary sinus. The orbital floor is actually made up of three bones: the maxillary bone, the palatine bone, and the orbital plate of the zygomatic bone. Facial bones are small, complex, and delicate. An orbital floor fracture most commonly occurs from blunt trauma or a hit. Orbital floor fractures are common; about 10% of all facial fractures include the orbital floor.
