Hydroxyapatite Orbital Implant After Enucleation Experience With Initial 100 Consecutive Cases

The ‘baseball’ orbital implant: A prospective study

“…The more recently introduced coralline hydroxyapatite implant has potential advantages over the baseball implant by offering both superior motil ity and additional support for the prosthesis for those patients who choose to undergo the second-stage drilling procedure. Shields et 01., 18 however. in a recent report of their experience with their initial 100 consecutive cases using the hydroxyapatite implant, found that 33 of their patients were satisfied with their cosmetic appearance and motility without the peg and declined further intervention.…”

Enucleation Surgery—Orbital Implants and Surgical Techniques

“…Goldberg et al 46 suggested that use of HA implants, even with exposure, was less likely to lead to extrusion or infection compared with exposure with silicone or acrylic implants. Shields et al 47 described 100 cases of HA implants, among which they reported six patients with excessive postoperative orbital pain, two patients with wound edema, and one patient with erosion. In another report of 250 cases they described eight patients with conjunctival thinning, four patients with erosions, and one with orbital infection.…”

Porous Hydroxyapatite and Aluminium-Oxide Ceramic Orbital Implant Evaluation Using CBCT Scanning: A Method forIn VivoPorous Structure Evaluation and Monitoring

“…The porous orbital implants are composed of either HA, porous polyethylene (Medpor), or aluminium [1]. HA orbital implants were introduced by Perry in 1985 [31], and porous polyethylene orbital implants were introduced in 1989.…”

“…HA orbital implants were introduced by Perry in 1985 [31], and porous polyethylene orbital implants were introduced in 1989. Porous structures allow fibrovascular ingrowth into the implant and integration with orbital tissues [1]. Most porous implants used today are spherical.…”

“…Porous HA can be made by using the xenogenic matrix from a specific genus of reef-building coral [1] and changed from calcium carbonate to calcium phosphate by a hydrothermal exchange reaction. HA can also be completely synthetic.…”
