Please translate to English (in general not specifics of this case); Description of said injury, recovery time of said injury, side effects, and is he in danger of temporary or permanent eye damage. Thank You in advance...
Not a Doc, but here is the treatment:
Orbital Floor Blowout Treatment
Depending on the damage, most people who suffer an orbital blowout will require surgery. ER physicians will first make sure you are stabilized and tend to any injuries that require immediate treatment. They will also prescribe general antibiotics to prevent infection. You will be instructed not to blow your nose for several weeks, as doing so can cause additional swelling, injury and possibly air to enter the tissue. Ice packs should be gently applied to the orbit for the first 48 hours. You will then be instructed to see your optometrist or ophthalmologist to make sure you do not have any other damage to your eye. Next, you will be referred to a maxillofacial surgeon who specializes in the repair of orbital blowout fractures.
Mike hit the officer so hard in the face that be broke the officer’s skull around the eyeball.
Its a common injury after being punched in the eye.
The walls of the eye socket on the inside and bottom are paper thin.
When punched the eye puts pressure on them and they can “blow out”
Sometimes a piece of muscle used to move the eye can get trapped resulting in double vision. That can be permanent if not corrected. Also blunt trauma to the eye can result in a lens dislocation, or a retinal detachment, or bleeding into the front of the eye (hyphema) all of which can permanently affect vision...

Think of the eye as a big pizza pie.
I'm not a professional but twenty years of ER administration taught me a few things: the "orbit" is the boney area around the eye...the "eye socket" I guess you could say.Orbital fractures aren't uncommon and can be caused in many ways...including after having been punched in the face.It would be interesting to see if the dead punk had a "Boxer's fracture",which is a specific type of wrist fracture sometimes seen in those who have punched a person or thing (a wall,for example).It's called a "boxer's" fracture because it's a classic kind of fracture suffered by boxers (among others).
at least temporary inability to move the eye normally. Likely at least temporary visual problems with the eye, all the way up to permanent blindness. This is a devastating injury
If the nerve is not impinged there should be no permanent problem. If the nerve was impinged, there would have had to be an operation to elevate the fracture and relieve the pressure on the nerve. If there was no impingement no operation would be needed to be performed and it should heal without problems.
What causes a blowout fracture?
Blowout fractures result from trauma to the orbital bones. When an object hits the orbital bones (usually the eye brow and upper cheek bone) the force is transmitted to the bones. If the force is great enough, the bones buckle and break.
What are common causes of blowout fractures?
Any large object with force or speed can cause a blowout fracture. Typical causes include motor vehicle accidents, balls used in sports, fists, and elbows.
What are the symptoms of an orbital blowout fracture?
The most common symptoms are bruising, tenderness and swelling around the eye; redness of the eye; double vision, ordiplopia (seeing two images at the same time); numbness of the cheek, nose or teeth; nose bleeds (epistaxis).
Symptoms that typically indicate a more serious injury are pain on eye movement, double vision, air under the skin around the eye, and numbness of the cheek/mouth/nose on the side of the injury. Severe trauma may cause facial bone fractures, injury to the eye itself, and injuries to the skull/brain.
