  • Title: Repair of orbital floor fractures with Marlex mesh.
    Author: Scapini DA, Mathog RH.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1989 Jul; 99(7 Pt 1):697-701. PubMed ID: 2664387.
    Abstract:
    The best method for reconstructing the acutely fractured orbital floor is controversial. In this review, the outcome of 81 patients with an operatively confirmed pure orbital blow-out fracture is evaluated with respect to postoperative enophthalmos, diplopia, infection, and extrusion. A Marlex mesh implant was used to repair 58 of the fractures, with minimal resultant complications. We believe that Marlex mesh is an ideal implant for use in repairing the early blow-out fracture.
