J Craniofac Surg. 2020 May/Jun;31(3):e247-e248. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0000000000006176.

Abstract

A study of a 22-year-old male who was assaulted and sustained a left orbital floor blowout fracture was presented in this study. The orbital floor was repaired with a titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene implant. Two years postoperatively, the patient sustained repeated left orbital trauma. The orbital floor implant remained stable while the medial wall blew out.
