Abstract
Synthetic orbital floor implants carry the risk of infection, rejection, anterior migration with prolapse, and posterior migration with optic nerve compression. Banked irradiated homologous fascia lata has been used as an orbital floor implant in the repair of 18 patients with surgically indicated orbital floor fractures. All patients had improvement in diplopia. There was no infection, anterior migration, or posterior migration of the implant. There was no reported transmission of communicable diseases. Early results suggest that banked irradiated fascia can be used effectively and safely as an orbital floor implant in selected cases.
