The Part of the Orbit Involved in a Blowout Fracture

Question

The part of the orbit involved in a blowout fracture is the roof.

Accepted Answer

A blowout fracture typically involves the floor of the orbit, not the roof. This type of fracture occurs when there is a direct impact to the eye, causing a sudden increase in intraorbital pressure and leading to a fracture of the thin bones at the bottom of the orbital cavity.
