Abstract
-
PURPOSE: To evaluate the complications of titanium motility pegged hydroxyapatite orbital implant.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the records of 77 patients who underwent drilling with titanium motility peg hydroxyapatite orbital implant from May 2000 to April 2005.
RESULTS
Of 77 patients (77eyes), 22 complications in 14 eyes (18.2%) occurred: 8 cases of major discharge (10.4%), 7 cases of granulation tissue overgrowth (9.1%), 3 cases of sleeve head exposure (3.9%), 4 cases of peg extrusion (5.2%) and 2 cases of hydroxyapatite exposure around pegged hole (2.6%).
CONCLUSIONS
Hydroxyapatite exposure around pegged hole was most infrequent among complications of titanium motility peg system. It is considered that the use of titanium motility pegs will increase, as a bioinert material.
