In general the posttraumatic enophthalmos results from an enlargement of the orbit mainly in its dorsal part. The surgical correction must be performed in this particular part and calvarian bone grafts are very suitable for the procedure. In 20 patients the aesthetic appearance could significantly be approved. Anyhow functional aspects, mainly the binocular vision, must not be neglected.
