A NEW MAGNETIC ORBITAL IMPLANT

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1954
INCREASING dissatisfaction with the results obtained after enucleation and the insertion of a glass or plastic sphere implant led to efforts to improve these results by changing the character of the implant and making associated changes in the artificial eye. This work was possible only because our Plastic Artificial Eye and Restorations Clinic had the

Complications of Supramid Orbital Implants

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2003
To determine the incidence and risk factors of complications associated with Supramid orbital implants.A retrospective chart review was performed to document complications in a series of 41 patients receiving Supramid implants during orbital reconstruction or fracture repair.

MRI of orbital hydroxyapatite implants

Neuroradiology, 1996
Our aim was to use MRI for the postsurgical assessment of a new form of integrated orbital implant composed of a porous calcium phosphate hydroxyapatite substrate. We studied ten patients 24-74 years of age who underwent enucleation and implantation of a hydroxyapatite ball; 5-13 months after surgery, each patient was examined by spinecho MRI, with fat

Postenucleation Orbital Implant Extrusion

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1978
A new idea helps to explain postenucleation orbital implant extrusion. Implant extrusion is related to would dehiscence followed by conjunctival epithelial downgrowth. A prospective clinical study with pathological data are used to support this concept. A procedure for repair of this problem is described.

Orbital implants for fracture repair

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2011
To review the latest advancements in implant materials for orbital fracture repair, including analysis of the last year in research.Advances in the manufacture of highly biocompatible alloplastic materials offer an alternative to traditional autologous implants for orbital fracture repair. The emergence of the composite implant offers the stability and

Pegging the Porous Orbital Implant

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2011
Hydroxyapatite (HA) orbital implants are commonly used for the anophthalmic socket. With a HA implant, if motility is not satisfactory then a peg system can be surgically placed in attempts to improve motility. The authors report the technique and results of 83 patients who received motility peg placement over an 8-year period by a single surgeon ...

ORBITAL IMPLANTS

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1941
The tolerance of the orbital tissue to foreign materials has always been well known, and for this reason many substances have been implanted in Tenon's capsule. Most ophthalmologists of the present day concede that something should be put into the socket after enucleation in order to obliterate the unnatural folds and depressions in the upper and lower

Investigation of a Bioresorbable Orbital Implant

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2002
To analyze a new bioresorbable orbital implant (open-celled polylactic acid, also known as OPLA).The implants were examined macroscopically, with chemical analysis (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), and microscopically with scanning electron microscopy.

A New Magnetic Orbital Implant

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1956
In this paper is presented a new magnetic orbital implant for use after enucleation which is expected to be a great improvement over all previous types. The implant contains a magnet, the active poles of which end directly under Tenon's capsule and conjunctiva.

Management of Exposed Hydroxyapatite Orbital Implants.

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1994
Porous coralline hydroxyapatite orbital implants have gained significant popularity for use in anophthalmic sockets. Several reports have noted increased rates of early implant exposure.Six patients with exposure complications of primary hydroxyapatite implants after enucleation or evisceration were studied.The hydroxyapatite implant exposures occurred
