Orbital Floor Fractures in Germany: Interdisciplinary Care without a Uniform Standard – Results of a Multicentre Survey

In Germany, the initial surgical treatment of OFF is predominantly performed without prior ophthalmologic consultation and not by ophthalmologists. As early reconstruction can cause considerable individual ophthalmologic loss of function, it is important to promote interdisciplinary cooperation and, in particular, the corresponding oculoplastic care expertise in ophthalmology in order more reliably to avoid inadequate indications. The development of an interdisciplinary S2 guideline and the establishment of a national registry for orbital floor fractures appear to be urgently required to improve the quality of care.
