ABSTRACT: Aim and objectives
The aim of this study was to analyse the outcomes of orbital floor reconstruction with two types of orbital implants and assess patients' quality of life.Material and methods
39 sequential patients with clinical and radiological evidence of orbital floor fracture, presenting diplopia, enophthalmos, paraesthesia or a post traumatic residual orbital deformity were included in this study and randomised for orbital floor reconstruction using porous polyethylene sheet (Biopore™) or preshaped titanium mesh on a 3D model. Their pre and postoperative quality of life were compared. Success rate was assessed and scored with a minimum of zero (none) and a maximum of ten (excellent) for improvement in the signs of diplopia, enophthalmos, hypoglobus, paraesthesia and aesthetics.Results
Both QOL scores and Success score was greater in cases which reconstruction of orbital floor was performed with preshaped titanium mesh as compared to those with Biopore™.Conclusion
Preshaped titanium mesh shows better results than reconstruction with Biopore™. However a large sample size and a long term follow up is needed for generating the best evidence. Quality of life extensively improves after orbital floor reconstruction motivating the patients desire to live.
