Clinical analysis of hydroxyapatite orbital implant with suture

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of hydroxyapative orbital implant with suture.Methods 85 cases(85 eyes)of enucleation and implantation of hydroxyapatite orbital implant were boserved.Results Follow-up ranged from 12 to 36 months(meanly,18 months).All patients were successfully fit with prostheses.Prosthetic motility was acceptable in each patient.Conjunctiva incision in 82 of 85 cases totally recovered.conjunctival thinning occurred in 2 cases and hydroxyopatite implant exposure in 1 case.No complication of bleeding or infection observed.Conclusion The HA with suture implants implanted in orbital space give good cosmetic results with good motility of the artifical eye and is associated with a low rate of complications.
