ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical effects of human amniotic membrane as an alternative substrate for wrapping hydroxyapatite ocular prosthesis implants.Methods After enucleation, hydroxyapatite orbital implants wrapped by human amniotic membrane were implanted with four rectus sutured to the implants .Among them, 4 cases were given primary implantation and 3 cases secondary implantation.Results After 8 to 39 week follow-up, it was found that in 6 cases, the eyelids were plump and prosthesis moved well, but one implant was removed because of failure of scleral patch graft for implant exposure.Conclusion The clinical results were satisfactory for ocular prosthesis implantation of hydroxyapatite sphere wrapped by human amniotic membrane, which may be considered as an alternative substrate for ocular prosthesis implants wrapper.
