This chapter focuses on orbital fractures. It is a procedure of the reconstruction of traumatic orbital defects and restoration of pre‐traumatic orbital volume. The chapter focuses on surgical indications, contraindications, pertinent anatomy, virtual surgical planning, operative techniques, postoperative management, complications and key points of orbital fractures. Pre‐septal approaches are prone to ectropion, which is particularly true when combined with a lateral canthotomy. When performing lateral canthotomies, care should be taken to resuspend the periorbital musculature and to perform an accurate lateral canthopexy upon closure. The key to successful orbital reconstruction is to establish pre‐traumatic orbital volume through restoration of the critical orbital bulges located postero‐inferiorly and postero‐medially. The chapter also provides several case reports with high‐quality images.
