Abstract

To reconstruct the orbital floor defects there are a lot of reconstruction materials, the surgeon must choose one of them. The authors share their experience with 10 patients suffering from orbital trauma causing orbital floor fracture; those fractures were reconstructed using titanium mesh. No complications were encountered postoperatively apart from 1 patient with ectropion. Titanium mesh is a perfect material for the reconstruction of the orbital fractures, eliminating the need for autogenous bone graft.
