Abstract EN
It is essential to reduce and reconstruct bony defects adequately in large orbital floor fracture and defect.
Among many reconstructive methods, alloplastic materials have attracted attention because of their safety and ease of use.
We have used resorbable plates combined with artificial bone substitutes in large orbital floor defect reconstructions and have evaluated their long-term reliability compared with porous polyethylene plate.
A total of 147 patients with traumatic orbital floor fracture were included in the study.
Surgical results were evaluated by clinical evaluations, exophthalmometry, and computed tomography at least 12 months postoperatively.
Both orbital floor height discrepancy and orbital volume change were calculated and compared with preoperative CT findings.
The average volume discrepancy and vertical height discrepancies were not different between two groups.
Also, exophthalmometric measurements were not significantly different between the two groups.
No significant postoperative complication including permanent diplopia, proptosis, and enophthalmos was noted.
Use of a resorbable plate with an artificial bone substitute to repair orbital floor defects larger than 2.5 cm2 in size yielded long-lasting, effective reconstruction without significant complications.
We therefore propose our approach as an effective alternative method for large orbital floor reconstructions.
