Generation of customized orbital implant templates using 3-dimensional printing for orbital wall reconstruction

Safety of Silastic Sheet for Orbital Wall Reconstruction

BACKGROUND Many implants are being used for the reconstruction of orbital wall fractures. The effect of the choice of implant for the reconstruction of an orbital wall fracture on the surgical outcome is under debate. The purpose of this article is to compare the outcomes of orbital wall reconstruction of small orbital wall fractures on the basis of the implants used. METHODS The authors cond...

Correlation between the 2-Dimensional Extent of Orbital Defects and the 3-Dimensional Volume of Herniated Orbital Content in Patients with Isolated Orbital Wall Fractures

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between the 2-dimensional (2D) extent of orbital defects and the 3-dimensional (3D) volume of herniated orbital content in patients with an orbital wall fracture. METHODS This retrospective study was based on the medical records and radiologic data of 60 patients from January 2014 to June 2016 for a unilateral isolated orbital...

"Physiological" orbital implant.

Magnetic orbital implant.

THIs implant was developed with the object ofincreasing the degree ofmovement obtained with the Allen type ofburied orbital implant. The satisfactory way in which these implants are retained in the orbit is demonstrated by the large number which have now more than fulfilled the 2-year follow-up period suggested by Choyce (1952). The retention of the magnetic form of implant appears to be as goo...

A Case of Orbital Abscess following Porous Orbital Implant Infection

PURPOSE We present a case of orbital abscess following porous orbital implant infection in a 73-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS Just one month after a seemingly uncomplicated enucleation and porous polyethylene (Medpor) orbital implant surgery, implant exposure developed with profuse pus discharge. The patient was unresponsive to implant removal and MRI confirmed the presenc...
