title: [Clinical application of a new mobile integrated orbital implant].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To improve the socket reconstruction after enucleation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Hydroxyapatite (HA, made in China) was made into a porous HA sphere and wrapped up in the scleral shell as a mobile integrated orbital implant. It was applied to 43 patients with enucleation and anophthalmia, The surgical technique is described.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All sockets have been corrected very well and the prosthetic mobility and the cosmetic appearance are excellent. After a follow-up of 6 to 24 months, no migration or extrusion of the implant or infection occurred.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is considered that at present this new mobile integrated orbital implant is made of one of the best materials and this method of socket reconstruction is one of the best method for selection.
