Objective To report on 8 years of experience with 156 titanium mesh and porous
polyethylene implants used for craniofacial reconstruction after skull base surgery in 100 …

Objective The most accurate orbital reconstructions result from an anatomic repair of the
premorbid orbital architecture. Many different techniques and materials have been used; …

There is ongoing discussion about patient-specific implants (PSI) to reconstruct orbital
defects. Although PSI offer excellent clinical outcome, they are expensive. Subsequently …

Prefabricated, patient-specific alloplastic implants for cranioplasty reduce surgical
complexity, decrease operative times, minimize exposure and risk of contamination, and …

Background Source material used to fill calvarial defects includes autologous bones and
synthetic alternatives. While autologous bone is preferable to synthetic material, autologous …

Titanium mesh implants have proved their effectiveness in the reconstruction of fractures of
the orbital wall, and their compromise between stiffness and elasticity allows for optimal …

Fractures of the orbital wall and floor can be challenging due to the demanding three-
dimensional anatomy and limited intraoperative overview. Misfitting implants and inaccurate …

The purpose of this investigation is to present the results using preoperatively-formed
titanium mesh implants for a true-to-original primary repair of extensive orbital floor and …

Purpose Postoperative radiographic examinations are the gold standard in maxillofacial
surgery, except in orbital reconstruction. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to estimate …

During the past several decades, the standard of care for orbital reconstruction after trauma
has been autogenous bone grafts. Complications of bone grafts, including donor site …
