    OBJECTIVE: The aim of the work was to improve the operative result of eye socket reconstruction after enucleation. METHODS: The hydroxyapa tite implant of eyeball shape was buried in the scleral shell, which was stitched to the extraocular muscles at the points of muscle attachment so as to create a rotatable eye seat connector. RESULTS: One hundred and two patients have received eye socket reconstruction of this method with improved results. The prosthetic eyes move freely. Follow-up for 6 to 38 months reveals that the results are stable and satisfactory. CONCLUSION: The indigenous hydroxyapa tite implant is a good biomaterial for socket reconstruction.
