Titanium Mesh Orbital Floor

The authors share their experience with 10 patients suffering from orbital trauma causing orbital floor fracture.

Titanium mesh orbital floor.

Liu jk gotfried on cole cd dougherty. Those fractures were reconstructed using titanium mesh. To reconstruct the orbital floor defects there are a lot of reconstruction materials the surgeon must choose one of them. Among the materials used for this purpose the titanium mesh is widely used due to its effectiveness.

The defects were reconstructed by titanium mesh in combination with autogenous fascia lata in the orbital floor performed by 1 surgical team. Fascia lata was used to cover the titanium mesh along the orbital floor to prevent fat.

This study was aimed to compare the efficacy of customized patient specific titanium mesh based on 3d printed model with intra operative bending of titanium mesh for reconstructing of orbital floor fracture. Because of fibrous adhesion around the titanium mesh a proportion of patients experienced persistent diplopia or eyelid retraction beyond two months after the orbital floor repair. Titanium mesh 0 2 mm thick was contoured and fixed to reconstruct the orbital floor and obtain midface projection. Medpor titan 3d orbital floor.

This is a very rare complication that requires replacing the titanium implant with an implant made from another material or graft. 10 synthes titanium orbital plates technique guide titanium orbital mesh plates screw dia. Treatment of orbital fractures involves restoration of lost bone anatomy and orbital volume. Likewise our medpor titan line combines high density polyethylene sheets and titanium mesh in a single implant for increased flexibility shape retention.

Concerning isolated orbital wall fractures the most frequently fractured is the orbital floor referred also as a pure blowout fracture pure orbital blowout fracture is an entity which should be considered distinctly from other types of orbital fractures as it is more likely to be associated with soft tissue injuries resulting in. A study was undertaken to evaluate the safety of magnetic resonance imaging mri of metallic implants used in cranio orbital reconstruction stainless steel wire and titanium and vitallium plates and also to compare the degree of artifact created on computed tomographic ct scanning and mri by each material.
