Abstract

Controversy surrounds the selection of orbital implants used for the repair of orbital blow-out fractures. No less than 20 alloplastic, autogenous, resorbable or integrated materials have been reported for use in these repairs. Little information is available comparing the benefits, complications or selection criteria for these materials. This brief review will address the types of implants available, their reported complications, and potential clinical advantages and disadvantages to construct a rational approach for the selection of an implant for orbital fracture repair.
