Complex fracture: A nasoorbitoethmoid (noe) fracture is a complex fracture that can involve the medial orbit, tear duct, ethmoid sinus, nasal bone and sometimes the base if the skull. If the fracture is displaced it should be repaired by an experienced oculoplastic or ENT surgeon. Your eyes should be examined to ensure there was no damage to your eye, muscles or tear duct.

C ENT/Oculoplastics: Probably both are to evaluate complex cases. At least at our hospital those complex cases are combined or cases to repair, when it involved the orbital floor/ethmoids, so that all bases are covered. Also, often two surgeons heads put together are better than one in approach. The patient will benefit the most, and or time is reduced, by having the shared case combined. May see better outcomes too.
