Titanium mesh in orbital wall reconstruction

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1992 Jun;21(3):140-4. doi: 10.1016/s0901-5027(05)80780-5.

Abstract

Successful use of titanium mesh sheets in the reconstruction of orbital wall defects of up to 2.5 x 2.5 cm following trauma and followed up for a mean of 24 months is demonstrated. This material is especially useful in orbital floor and medial wall blow-out fractures, and is a valuable additional material for use in maxillofacial reconstruction.
