A member asked:
Can you tell me about an orbital eye fracture with disfiguration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is kind of like it sounds. The orbit refers to the bone around the eye and you have broken that bone. The term disfigured refers to the probable displacement of the fracture itself. Thank you.
