Surgery of Traumatic Defects of the Orbital Floor

Biomaterials and implants for orbital floor repair

“…After careful selection, Chowdhury and Krause [28] indicated autologous bone as the preferable material of choice in orbital floor reconstruction. Over the years, this conclusion was supported by other comparative studies [50][51][52][53], and the unique advantages of using autologous bone have been further highlighted in recent research reports [41,42].…”

“…Mathog [51] also agreed with Chowdhury and Krause [28], but he underlined that comparison among the performance of different materials is often difficult, as the majority of reports available in the literature does not address uniformly the indications for surgery, the surgical techniques and the follow-up period of observation.…”

Ceramics for oculo-orbital surgery

“…The advantages of using autologous bone in comparison to other options for orbital floor repair have been highlighted in many research reports [12,13,[30][31][32][33]. Rudagi et al [22] reconstructed orbital floor fractures in 11 patients by using autogeneous mandibular symphiseal bone grafts.…”
