Functional-aesthetic reconstruction of periorbital fractures and defects

Abstract

Patients with periorbital defects experience social rejection and psychological impairment as a result of their defect. We have developed a procedure to repair the defect which gives aesthetically and functionally satisfactory results. Infraorbital bony reconstruction and reconstruction of the intraorbital anatomical units are performed as primary surgery; supraorbital reconstruction is done secondarily. We make use of implants made of heath-polymerizing prefabricated polymethyl-methacrylate, and have had satisfactory results.
