ABSTRACT
Medpor, the high density porous polyethylene, which permits rapid ingrowth of both soft tissues and vasculatures, is highly stable but somewhat flexible and is also easy to shape. So it has been often used for plastic and reconstructive surgeries including facial bone fractures, as well as orbital wall fractures. The authors investigated sex and age distribution, causes of injury, combined ocular injuries, and fracture sites of 45 blow-out fractures. And 27 orbital reconstructions was performed by using 0. 85mm thickness Medpor within 2 weeks after injury, if possible. During post-operative follow up, the preoperative diplopia was resolved or decreased in all cases, but the enophthalmos was not completely resolved. Much researches will be needed for choice of Medpor`s thickness or operation methods, and long term stability shoud be approved through further follow up.
