Long-Term Results of Reconstruction of Orbital Wall Fracture With Resorbable Copolymer Mesh

Purpose: This study examined the postoperative long-term results of the reconstruction of orbital wall fracture using Macropore<sup>&#9415;. Methods: The long-term results for 10 patients who were diagnosed with orbital wall fracture and received the repair of orbital wall fracture using Macropore<sup>&#9415;, were examined postoperatively after an average of 23.5 months. Results: The mean difference in orbital volume between the fractured orbit and the unaffected orbit after an average of 23.5 months postoperatively was 1.01±0.70 cm3 (4.75±2.92%), which slightly increased compared to 0.70±0.52 cm3 (3.26±2.10%) immediately after the operation, although the difference was not statistically significant (p-value=0.190). At the last follow-up, the shape of Macropore<sup>&#9415; was not observed in 3 out of the 10 patients, and intense ossification was observed at the site of fracture in 6 patients. At the last follow-up, one patient showed 1.5 mm enophthalmos, and the other patients did not show the occurrence of diplopia or the progress of enophthalmos. Conclusions: According to the long-term results of the reconstruction of orbital wall fracture, Macropore<sup>&#9415; is considered an implant that produces a safe and satisfactory effect without notable complications.
