Abstract: Isolated orbital wall fractures account for 4% to 16% of all facial fractures. Even a modest change in the position of the bony walls can have a significant impact on orbital volume and globe position. Alloplastic materials or autogenous bone grafts such as the antral maxillary wall can be used to reconstruct small- to medium-size orbital fractures. The main advantage of an antral wall graft is the intraoral approach with minimal morbidity. Nine patients underwent repair of orbital floor fractures using the ex… Show more

“…In the event of a subsequent injury, an alloplastic graft may promote globe injury by removing the natural crumple zone effect of the bony orbital wall for dissipating the kinetic energy of an impact 7,8 . As autologous bone grafts are osteoconductive and osteoinductive, and over time undergoes remodelling, they provide a more natural reconstruction of the orbit 1‐3 . In contrast, most resorbable and non‐resorbable alloplastic grafts do not have osteoconductive properties and result in a fibrous scar tissue, which, in the event of infection, is challenging to remove 5 …”

“…The anterior maxillary sinus wall has been used as a graft material in orbital floor reconstruction in patients with a blowout fracture. 13,14 Because of these features, the anterior maxillary sinus wall can be a relevant interpositional graft material for the repair of nasoseptal perforations.…”
