Notes: p -Values represent the difference between raw categories regarding the presence or absence of the functional deficits and aesthetic deficits.

Timing of intervention and type of injury in terms of depth and site all influenced the functional outcome.

The highest functional deficits were found in injuries localized to periocular region or the extended types including the periocular region.

We compared injuries described by depth as regards postoperative deficits including functional and aesthetic using “chi-squared test.” It showed significant difference between the four categories as regards the functional deficits. The category with the highest deficit frequency is complex injuries, and the least is the simple injuries. There was no significant difference between the four categories as regards the aesthetic deficits.

a

Chi-squared test was used.

b

Exact test was used.
