Purpose Recently, biomaterials have been generally used in reconstruction of a bony defect
or augmentation of the facial skeleton. Medpor implants in vivo in animal models showed …

Aim The present study is to compare the effectiveness of iliac crest graft and medpor implant,
for repairing traumatic orbital floor defects. Materials and methods A total of 20 patients were …

Nonabsorbable alloplastic implants for orbital wall reconstruction have been widely
accepted by surgeons because of their ready availability, stability, and biocompatability …

Object Cranial reconstruction after skull base surgery is important for restoration of function
and cosmesis. The authors describe their experience with the Medpor porous polyethylene …

• Porous polyethylene is a thermoplastic synthetic with a pore size ranging from about 100
μm to 200 μm. In addition to other materials, it is used for alloplastic replacement of auditory …

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 …

A comparative animal study showed that, after implantation in skull defects in guinea pigs,
porous high-density polyethylene (PHDPE) was substantially better anchored in the bone …

Surgical reconstruction of the skull base and cranium adjacent to open paranasal sinuses
with alloplastic materials is problematic secondary to an increased risk of implant infection in …

Introduction We describe our experience of cranioplasty after a calvarial defect, following an
external decompressive craniectomy, with the Medpor®(Stryker®) porous polyethylene …

We describe use of flexblock, a newly designed Medpor porous polyethylene implant. This
implant is ideally suited for repair of small to me-dium-sized cranial defects and correction of …
