This can cause a small hole in the floor of the eye socket that can trap parts of the eye muscles and surrounding structures. Indirect orbital floor fracture ("blowout fracture") - This occurs when the bony rim of the eye remains intact, but the paper thin floor of the eye socket cracks or ruptures.A frontal bone fracture or frontal sinus fracture involves the upper edge of the eye rim, which is part of the forehead's frontal bone. A zygomatic fracture involves the lower edge of the eye rim, which is part of the cheekbone. There are two types of orbital rim fractures. Even if the damage is limited to the eye area, there may be additional injuries to the eye itself, such as the optic nerve (responsible for vision), the eye muscles, the nerves that provide sensation in the forehead and cheek, the sinuses around the eye and the tear duct. Because a great deal of force is required to cause these fractures, they often occur with extensive injuries to other facial bones, and sometimes injuries to the brain. Orbital rim fracture - These are caused by a direct impact to the face, most commonly by an automobile dashboard or steering wheel during a car crash.A fracture is a broken bone in the eye socket involving the rim, the floor or both. The rim of the socket is made of fairly thick bones, while the floor and nasal side of the socket is paper thin in many places. The eye socket is a bony cup that surrounds and protects the eye.
