Study on the possible factors leading to complications of hydroxyapatite orbital implantation

Abstract

Hydroxyapatite(HA)orbital implant has been widely used since it was developed due to its many advantages. It is one of the ideal materials to fill the orbital volume after enucleation or evicseration. However, it still causes complications, and some complications such as severe eye exposure may require reimplant surgery. The paper reviews the clinical application of HA orbital implant, the possible factors leading to complications of HA orbital implantation and the treatments for several common complications. The review aims to provide some help to readers.
