AIM: To evaluate the outcome of orbital floor blow-out @entity174 treated surgically with @entity1346 implant. METHODS: The @entity1 were examined in a prospective study from October 1993 to December 1999. Over this period 11 @entity1 were diagnosed as having orbital floor blow-out @entity174 . The study was restricted to those who were both treated surgically and followed-up at least three months after the discharge from hospital. Only six @entity1 (five males and one female), ranging in age from 6 to 30 years, fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The @entity174 occurred during brawls in 3 @entity1 , car accidents in 2 @entity1 and @entity1 's play in 1 @entity1 . The diagnosis was based on history, clinical grounds and coronal computed tomography. The surgical procedure was the same in all @entity1 , using @entity1346 implant to reconstruct the defects. The mean follow-up time after surgery was 4.8 months. RESULTS: The interval between injury and diagnosis ranged from 6 to 85 days (mean: 34.8 days). @entity1319 was present in all 6 @entity1 , @entity892 in 4 @entity1 , @entity9577 in 3 @entity1 and @entity1183 in the distribution of the infraorbital nerve in 1 @entity1 . The mean interval time between injury and surgery was 55.3 days and the majority of the @entity1 (83%) had late repairs (> 14 days) after injury. Postoperatively, satisfactory results were obtained with regard to limitation of vertical @entity1319 , @entity892 , @entity9577 and @entity1183 . Only one @entity1 had a persistent and partially reduced @entity9577 . @entity1346 implant was well tolerated in all 6 cases since complications such as @entity281 , tissue reaction and extrusion were not observed. CONCLUSION: Satisfactory results may be obtained after late repair of orbital floor blow-out @entity174 . @entity1346 implant has the potential to be used successfully in orbital floor @entity174 .
