| Abstract |
|
We repaired posttraumatic enophthalmos in three patients by inserting a large silastic block through a transconjunctival approach to the orbit. These blocks were hand carved at the time of surgery to match the bony defects. Satisfying cosmetic and functional results were achieved in all case with good improvement of enophthalmos and hypo-ophthalmos. No significant complications were found. The improvements were stable over a mean follow-up of 8.6 months. |
