Purpose Various materials are used in orbital blowout fracture repair. We describe a series
of patients with orbital blowout fractures that were repaired using porous polyethylene …

Deformities of the facial skeleton may be reconstructed using autogenic or allogenic
materials. Porous polyethylene is one of the few alloplastic materials currently in use having …

Autologous costal cartilage has been the material of choice for framework in auricular
reconstruction. However, the advent of porous high-density polyethylene (Medpor) has …

The aim of this study is to present a narrative review of the properties of materials currently
used for orbital floor reconstruction. Orbital floor fractures, due to their complex anatomy …

Ideal surgery for congenital microtia-atresia would offer excellent cosmetic and hearing
rehabilitation, with minimal morbidity. Classic approaches require multiple procedures …

Objective To determine the safety and efficacy of using porous high-density polyethylene
(PHDPE) in the repair of orbital defects. Design Retrospective case series. Setting Academic …

Bone regeneration methods using bone inductive cytokines show promise, however, due to
early diffusion and absorption of single applications of these cytokines, the bone inductive …

Objectives The role of alloplastic materials in maxillofacial reconstruction is still
controversial. Determining the utility of porous, high-density, polyethylene implants as a …

Orbital fractures are common fractures of the midface. As such, numerous techniques and
