ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study was to observe the clinical outcome and complications of Medpor(R) orbital implant.METHODS:
The clinical outcome and complications were studied retrospectively in 64 eyes with Medpor(R) implantation. Evisceration was done in 34 cases, enucleation in 19 cases, and secondary implantation in 11cases. Mean follow up period was 16 months(4~30 months) and mean age of the participants was 34.9(1~79).RESULTS:
Implant infection developed in one case, implant exposure developed in four cases and superior sulcus deformity developed in two cases. Motility Coupling Post(MCP) was inserted in 26 eyes. Motility of the prosthesis was good in most cases.CONCLUSIONS:
Medpor(R) orbital implant is being widely used currently. Complications or motility of the prosthesis showed no significant difference from those of Hydroxyapatite. But low cost and its handiness in operation makes it a desirable orbit implant.
