2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Approximately 300 patients presenting orbital blow-out fracture will be enrolled prospectively in this registry. All patients, surgically and nonsurgically treated as per standard (routine) of care will be followed-up (FU) within the registry for a period of 6 months.
The purpose of the research is to perform a quality assurance evaluation using randomized prospective analysis the rate of orbital cellulitis as a complication of nonsurgical orbital blowout fracture in patients treated versus not treated with prophylactic antibiotics. The investigators goal is to show the use of prophylactic antibiotics in orbital blowout fractures does not significantly decrease the rate of orbital cellulitis and is thus not indicated.
