Purpose to compare the orbital fracture size measured by orbital CT scan and compare it to the actual orbital fracture size intraoperatively in patients who needed surgical intervention to correct the fracture. Hypothesis: there is difference between the CT measure fracture size and the actual intraoperative size.

RECRUITINGPatients with orbital fractures that require surgical repair will have their fracture"s" size measured intraoperatively by a ruler and/or a caliper in millimeters and compare it to the size measured by the CT scan.
Patients with orbital fractures that need to be operated. Their intraoperative fracture size will be measured by the orbital surgeon by a ruler or/and a caliper in millimeters. Size on CT scan is determined by counting the number of slides that show the fracture (for anteropsterior fracture we measure the number of coronal sections that show the fracture multiply X1-each section is 1millimeter thickness, and so on for mediolateral fractures we measure saggital sections number and for superoinferior fractures the axial sections that show the fracture.
