Please translate to English (in general not specifics of this case)..

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).

an orbital fracture is a little different than a blow out orbital fracture. That is a medical and surgical emergency
