| Abstract |
|
Hydroxyapatite is generally used as an orbital implant which is biocompatible. It is considered esthetically and functionally better than traditional measure. We performed hydroxyapatite implantation using autogenous temporalis muscle fascia for 4 eyes of 4 phthisis patients by truma. Hydroxyapatite implants wrapped with autogenous temporalis muscle fascia were inserted into all eyes after enucleation. Follow-up for 12-15 months [mean:13.4 months] showed less inflammatory reaction. There were has no wound dehiscence, implant protrusion and migration. MRI showed a goodfibrovascular proliferation at 4-5 months postoperatively, so we performed drilling. Temporalis muscle fascia is easily obtained and there is no esthetic problem because scar at scalp is covered by hair. |
