Abstract: Introduction: Correction of post-traumatic enophthalmos, especially in severe cases, remains a surgical challenge.Complex trauma involving both hard and soft tissues requires a targeted treatment strategy.Even after seemingly successful surgical intervention, recurrences may occur.To improve enophthalmos, we performed simultaneous endo-orbital fat grafting along with reconstruction of the orbital structure.Aim: The aim of this study is to describe our therapeutic approach and objectively analyze the outcomes.Our study reports the case of a patient who suffered a road traffic accident.An 8-month follow-up period was used for the final evaluation.Results: Postoperatively, the patient showed significant improvement in globe positioning without visual impairment.Conclusions: Alloplastic reconstruction of the orbital floor combined with endo-orbital fat grafting represents an excellent method to provide adequate support and positioning of the globe, even in the correction of secondary enophthalmos.
