The Popping Peg Phenomenon

Complications of motility peg placement for porous hydroxyapatite orbital implants

“…The complications of motility peg placement for the hydroxyapatite orbital implant have been reported including discharge, pyogenic granuloma, peg falling out, poor transfer of movement, clicking, conjunctiva overgrowing peg, poor fitting sleeve, part of sleeve shaft visible, peg drilled on an angle, hydroxyapatite visible around peg hole, peg drilled off centre, popping peg, conjunctival oedema, excessive postoperative pain, excessive movement of peg, and a broken peg. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The most serious complication reported was implant infection requiring implant removal. 3 This report is the second largest review of complications occurring with the peg system of hydroxyapatite ocular implant to date.…”
