다공성 폴리에틸렌(Medpor^�)을 이용한 안와골절수술의 효과 = Blow-out Fracture Repair Using Porous Polyethylene(Medpor^�)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of implantation of PPSI(porous polyethylene sheets implant, Medpor^ⓡ) to repair of blowout fracture and the surgical outcome. The authors performed 20 orbital reconstruction using Medpor^ⓡ to reconstruct orbital wall defects through the transconjunctival approach. In 16 cases, silastic sheets also were used.
Preoperatively, severe extraocular muscle movement limitation were noted in 13 cases and moderate in 7 cases. Postoperatively 15 cases were full corrected, 3 cases were partially corrected and 2 cases were not corrected. Enophthalmos resolved in 10 of 11 cases.
There were significant improvement of symptoms and signs in patients on whom operated within 2 weeks after trauma.
There was no infection, implant migration, or exposure. It was concluded that Medpor^ⓡ implant has several advantage of highly biocompatible, easy to handle, contour and position.
