Prospective Multicenter Trial to Compare Preformed vs Non Preformed Orbital Implants
Summary
Accuracy of posttraumatic orbital reconstruction of the meidal orbital wall and/or floor is better with preoperatively preformed orbital implants than with non-preformed orbital implants.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Bone Plates
Implantable fracture fixation devices attached to bone fragments with screws to bridge the fracture gap and shield the fracture site from stress as bone heals. (UMDNS, 1999)
Orbital Pseudotumor
A nonspecific tumor-like inflammatory lesion in the ORBIT of the eye. It is usually composed of mature LYMPHOCYTES; PLASMA CELLS; MACROPHAGES; LEUKOCYTES with varying degrees of FIBROSIS. Orbital pseudotumors are often associated with inflammation of the extraocular muscles (ORBITAL MYOSITIS) or inflammation of the lacrimal glands (DACRYOADENITIS).
Orbital Myositis
Inflammation of the extraocular muscle of the eye. It is characterized by swelling which can lead to ischemia, fibrosis, or ORBITAL PSEUDOTUMOR.
Monteggia's Fracture
Fracture in the proximal half of the shaft of the ulna, with dislocation of the head of the radius.
Fracture Fixation
The use of metallic devices inserted into or through bone to hold a fracture in a set position and alignment while it heals.

Validity and accuracy of subciliary endoscopic-aided repair of orbital floor fractures.
Several approaches are used to reconstruct orbital floor fractures and restore orbital position and function, but many have the drawback of incomplete visualization, especially of the posterior part o...
Purpose: To evaluate inferior oblique (IO) underaction related to orbital floor fracture and its management. Methods: We retrospectively assessed 137 patients with orbital floor fractures who ha...
Alloplastic orbital implants are commonly used by surgeons in the repair of orbital wall defects. They are generally well tolerated, but they may cause late-onset complications. The authors present th...
