purpose: to evaluate exposure rate following wrapping hydroxyapatite implant in mersilene mesh and donor sclera. methods: in a prospective comparative interventional case-series 60 consecutive patients underwent primary hydroxyapatite orbital implant wrapped in mersilene mesh or donor sclera. results: thirty patients (21 male and 10 female) underwent implantation with mersilene mesh and 30 pati...

Introduction: Several treatment options are available for the optimal treatment for orbital fractures, depending on aesthetic and functional results after orbital wall reconstruction. The objective of this study is to compare the effect and safety of large orbital fl oor fractures with titanium mesh combined with poly-L-lactic acid/polyglycolic acid copolymer implants (Lactosorb®) vs. autologou...
