A prospective study of resolution of post-traumatic orbital complications using PRECLUDE® MVP: A randomized controlled trial.
2021
Abstract Orbital fractures alone represent 10% up to 25% of all facial fractures, but when they are associated with other fractures of the middle-third of the face, their incidence can increase up to 55%. This study aimed to identify whether the size of the orbital defect based on the classification by Jaquiery et al. influenced the resolution of post-traumatic complications after orbital wall reconstruction using PRECLUDE®MVP alone or in combination with a titanium mesh or autogenous bone graft. Thirty-five orbits were categorized into four groups on the basis of the size of the defect and the operative techniques: group 1 contained 16 Jaquiery class I orbits treated only with PRECLUDE®MVP; group 2 included eight class II orbits treated with PRECLUDE®MVP along with autogenous bone graft harvested from the calvaria or a titanium mesh; group 3 included five class III orbits and group 4 included six class IV orbits that were treated the same way as those in group 2. Spearman correlation showed that the use PRECLUDE®MVP didn't improve the post traumatic complications for big orbital defects due to the three-dimensional anatomical changes that occurred by neurologic lesions and lipolysis of the orbital contents.
