analyse differences in time for outcome during follow-up. Significance was assumed when p<0.05. The Bonferroni correction was used for the post-hoc test (p<0.05/k). In these cases, significance was assumed when p<0.0125 for BSV score, ductions and enophthalmos, and p<0.0167 for the QoL questionnaire.
Figure 2 Scoring system for diplopia measured with the motility perimeter (adapted by Jellema et al., 2015 and based on Sullivan et al., 1992). Excellent: BSV in all coloured areas (89-100 points); Good: BSV in purple, green, and blue areas (38-88 points); Acceptable: BSV in purple and green areas (15-36 points); Poor: only BSV in purple area (≤12 points); Failure: no BSV (0 points).
Results
Patient characteristics
Of the 70 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 58 completed follow- up of 3 months, 42 reached 6 months, and 29 were also assessed at 12 months. A total of 12 patients were lost to follow-up. The mean age was 49 years (range 20-85 years) and most patients were male (Table 2). Of the fractures, 36 were located on the left side and the main cause of trauma was violence. Nonsurgical treatment was received by 46 patients and 12 underwent surgery. Indications for surgery were enophthalmos at
