ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We assessed the effect of Medpor(r) enophthalmos wedge implant on the correction enophthalmos.METHODS:
Authors operated on 12 patients with enophthalmos using Medpor(r) enophthalmos wedge implant.RESULTS:
Among 12 cases, 5 were men and 7 were women. Average age was 37.2 years. Average followup period was 8.1 months. There were posttraumatic enophthalmos in 8 patients and anophthalmic enophthalmos in 4 patients. We used 27 implants to correct enophthalmos (mean 2.3 implants). Among 8 orbital fracture cases, ocular motility disturbance and diplopia were improved in 7 cases. The amount of enophthalmos corrected was between 1 and 5 mm (mean 3.1 mm). We experienced improvement of inferior dystopia (mean 2.1 mm) in 11 cases and medial dystopia (mean 0.8 mm) in 5 cases. There was no case of visual loss, implant infection, migration, or exposure.CONCLUSIONS:
Our results showed that Medpor(r) enophthalmos wedge implant effectively corrected enophthalmos without significant complications.
