A Trial to Evaluate Two Ectropion Preventive Measures Using the Subciliary Approach in Orbital Fracture Surgery.

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether preventive surgical techniques can reduce the incidence of lower eyelid ectropion after the subciliary approach in adult patients undergoing surgery for orbital fractures. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do lateral canthopexy or orbicularis oculi suspension reduce the incidence of postoperative ectropion? Which preventive technique provides better postoperative lower eyelid outcomes? Researchers will compare three groups: subciliary approach alone, subciliary approach with lateral canthopexy, and subciliary approach with orbicularis oculi suspension to investigate which approach is most effective in preventing postoperative ectropion. Participants will undergo surgical treatment according to their assigned group and will attend scheduled postoperative follow-up visits for clinical evaluation of lower eyelid position and surgical outcomes.
