  • Title: Secondary correction of traumatogenic enophthalmos with auto- and alloplastic implants.
    Author: Hemprich A, Breier T.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 1993; 94(1):37-9. PubMed ID: 8384373.
    Abstract:
    In 23 patients with traumatogenic enophthalmos and diplopia autologous (rib cartilage, iliac crest bone), heterologous (lyophilized dura), and alloplastic (Silastic, P.D.S., HA-blocks) material was implanted into the orbit in a late secondary intervention. The results were encouraging as for the improvement of the diplopia as well as the enophthalmos. If rib cartilage should not or cannot be used a hydroxyapatite ceramic block is the best alloplastic implant material due to its stability, inertia, and availability.
