Design Retrospective case series.

Setting Academic tertiary care trauma center. Patients One hundred seventy patients with orbital defects requiring surgical repair. Intervention Orbital defect repair with PHDPE. Main Outcome Measure Our review documents surgical results and complications associated with the use of PHDPE.

Results There was a 6.4% complication rate associated with the use of PHDPE. The infection rate was 1.8%. The persistent orbital malposition rate was 3.5%. The extrusion rate was 0%.

Conclusions This report represents the largest case series in the literature using PHDPE for orbital reconstructions. The use of PHDPE resulted in a low complicat...
