[The turn-over flap of the frontalis muscle used for eye-socket depression with contraction of the conjunctival capsule].
We were used to repair the eye-socket depression and contraction after eyeball loss with fat, dermis or rib cartilage implantation. This "stuffing method" has some disadvantages, including absorption and exposure of the implant. In recent years the authors have used a turn-over flap of the frontalis muscle to treat eye-socket depression with contraction of the conjunctival capsule. Satisfactory results have been found at postoperative follow-up.
