Abstract: Objective To assess the effect of preformed orbital titanium mesh in the reconstruction of orbital fracture. Method
Twenty-seven cases of blow-out orbital fracture were diagnosed in the period from January 2012 to July 2012, all with serious
defect of the orbital wall and herniation of the orbital soft tissues. Preformed orbital titanium mesh was grafted to the
traumatic orbital walls. Orbital axial and coronal CT and three-dimension CT scan examination were performed routinely in
all cases preoperatively and postoperatively to evaluate the postoperative exophthalmos and orbital wall reconstruction.
Results All the patients were followed up for 3 months. Orbital wall reconstruction was successfully performed in all cases
without serious complications. The postoperative enophthalmos was less than 3 mm in 23 of the 27 cases. Conclusion
Preformed orbital titanium mesh allows accurate reconstruction of orbital wall fracture.
