Is It Common to Have Restricted Eye Movement Up After an Eye Orbit Fracture, Entrp Muscle?

Skylar P.
my daughter had an injury to her eye and had surgery 9 days ago, lower orbital fracture and entrapped muscle. The fracture was repaired and the muscle released. The surgery was 7 hours after the incident. She has no exterior symptoms, headaches or bruising now. However, she can't move that eye all the way up or down still and has double vision when she does that with both eyes. Is it normal to still have loss of movement after surgery? Could the muscle have died or other concern?
