Purpose: To present the authors experience with the nylon foil (Supramid) implant as a safe and effective method to repair pediatric orbital wall fractures.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of all pediatric patients (≤18 years) that underwent orbital wall fracture repair with an unsecured 0.4-mm Supramid implant between 2007 and 2010. Outcome variables were diplopia and surgical complications. This study was carried out with IRB approval.
