  • Title: A comparison of motility: autogenous dermis-fat vs synthetic spherical implants.
    Author: Bosniak SL, Nesi F, Smith BC, Schechter B, Cote R.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1989 Dec; 20(12):889-91. PubMed ID: 2630970.
    Abstract:
    The socket and prosthesis motility and the forniceal depths in a group of 47 patients who had undergone enucleation and implantation of synthetic spherical implants were compared with those in a group of 34 patients who had undergone enucleation and implantation of autogenous dermis-fat orbital implants. The primary autogenous dermis-fat orbital implants provided greater socket movement and deeper fornices than the synthetic spherical implants. Prosthesis motility, however, was the same in the two groups.
