Correction of enophthalmos and deep supratarsal sulcus by posterior subperiosteal glass bead implantation.

Correction of enophthalmos and deep supratarsal sulcus by posterior subperiosteal glass bead implantation.

Use of Proplast II as a subperiosteal implant for the correction of anophthalmic enophthalmos.

BACKGROUND A variety of autogenous and alloplastic materials have been used as subperiosteal implants to correct anophthalmic enophthalmos. Proplast II is a synthetic porous composite of Teflon polymer and alumina. Proplast II offers a number of advantages over other commonly used alloplastic materials such as silicone and polymethyl methacrylate. It is light, porous, resilient, malleable, and ...

Correction of Posttraumatic Enophthalmos

Management of posttraumatic enophthalmos can present as a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon, particularly in cases of late presentation. This article reviews the pertinent anatomy of the orbit, diagnostic modalities, indications for surgery, and surgical approaches as they relate to the treatment of posttraumatic enophthalmos. Internal orbital reconstruction has evolved to an elegant proc...

Correction of superior sulcus deformity and enophthalmos with porous high-density polyethylene sheet in anophthalmic patients.

PURPOSE Superior sulcus deformity is the main cosmetic problem in anophthalmic patients. Many methods of correcting enophthalmos have been reported, especially in patients with orbital wall fracture. The purpose of this study is to review the long term results of effectiveness in superior sulcus deformity correction by subperiosteal Medpor sheet implantation in anophthalmic patients. METHODS ...

Retention of platelets by glass bead filters.

Whole blood was passed through glass bead filters and the retention of platelets studied under various experimental conditions. Platelet retention was similar over a wide range of blood flow rates; however, it was decreased at fast rates of flow. Platelet retention was not influenced by the haematocrit value of the blood over a wide range. Retention in filters containing siliconized beads was s...
