Orbital Floor Reconstruction with Titanium Mesh;

.. Objective: To determine the outcome of orbital floor reconstruction with titanium mesh in terms of diplopia, enophthalmos, dystopia and infection etc. Study design: Descriptive case series. Place & duration of study: Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Punjab Medical College / Allied Hospital Faisalabad. One and Half year from 01-10-12 to 31-03-14. Material and Method: Twenty two patients clinically and radiographically having defect in the orbital floor due to trauma were included in the study. Titanium mesh was used to reconstruct the orbital floor through infraorbital rim incision and secured in place with 5mm micro screws. The variables to be analyzed were diplopia, enophthalmos, orbital dystopia and infection. Results: In our study male gender predominates over female 20/22. Mean age of patients is 29.36 years ± 5.21. Diplopia persisted in 2/10 (20%) patients. Enophthalmos persisted in 7/18 (38.8%) patients. dystopia persisted in 1⁄4 (25%) patients. Infection didn’t develop in any of our patient (0%). Visual acuity was not affected in any of the patient (0%). Conclusions: Titanium mesh is a suitable material for reconstruction of orbital floor fractures with little complication rate and no donor site morbidity.
