Look here’s why you are wrong. The reason the orbital floor fractures is because the eye is liquid and nor compressible. Putting pressure on the eyeball with a fist can cause that paper thin bone to fracture . You don’t have to break through the cheek or brow ridge to do it. I’ve seen literally dozens of blow out fractures in my 30 years of ER practice, and very rarely are they associated with a significant concussion. One good punch to the eye can do it.

Y’all are just answering a different question, that’s all.
