There has been no consensus as to which of the various methods for improving the surgical results are best. We proposed a modified target angle criteria that combined the regular target angle and a favorable Hess area ratio percentage (HAR%) threshold to evaluate surgical results within the first postoperative week and conducted a retrospective chart review. According to the criteria of the modified target angle at the first postoperative week, a total of 63 patients were divided into two groups: Group 1, patients who fulfilled the criteria (49 patients); and Group 2, those who did not (14 patients). Sex, type of fracture, and the use of porous polyethylene sheets and titanium mesh during reconstruction surgery were significantly different between the groups. Group 1 showed a significantly higher percentage of patients who met the criteria of HAR% &gt; 65% at the first week and &gt;85% (i.e., a successful outcome) at the 6-month visit (p &lt; 0.01). Additionally, Group 1 had a higher HAR% at the first postoperative week (p &lt; 0.01). In conclusion, the patients meeting the criteria of the modified target angle at the first postoperative week had a favorable outcome at the 6-month visit in both ocular alignment and ocular movement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11020287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,7]],"date-time":"2022-01-07T01:14:02Z","timestamp":1641518042000},"page":"287","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Modified Target Angle as a Predictor of Success in Strabismus Management after Orbital Fracture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Chih-Kang","family":"Hsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Tri-Service General Hospital Songshan Branch, Songshan, Taipei 105, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center, Taipei 114, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meng-Wei","family":"Hsieh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Taoyuan Armed Forces General Hospital, Taoyuan 325, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hsu-Chieh","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center, Taipei 114, Taiwan"},{"name":"Graduate Institute of Nursing, College of Nursing, Taipei Medical University, Taipei 110, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yi-Hao","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center, Taipei 114, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ke-Hung","family":"Chien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center, Taipei 114, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"290","DOI":"10.1001\/jamafacial.2014.56","article-title":"Avoiding complications in the repair of orbital floor fractures","volume":"16","author":"Harris","year":"2014","journal-title":"JAMA Facial Plast.
