Is There an Ideal Implant for Orbital Reconstructions? Prospective 64-Case Study

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of porous polyethylene, titanium mesh, and castor oil−derived biopolymer randomised in orbital reconstructions of defects larger than 1 cm in length on the inferior and medial walls. A total of 63 patients (64 orbits) were evaluated to determine the presence of diplopia, enophthalmos ocular motility, and infraorbital nerve paraesthesia in both the preoperative and postoperative periods. The surgeons' opinions of the ease in handling the implants were also obtained after each procedure.
