title: [Ocular socket plasty with orbital implant of hydroxyapatite].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the clinical effect of a new surgical procedure to reconstruct socket with sclera-encapsulated hydroxyapatite after enucleation and evisceration.
  
  
  METHODS
  Hydroxyapatite spheres were implanted primarily into auto-sclera capsule in 41 cases. Secondary implantation was performed with heterosclera-encapsulated ones in 9 cases.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No inflammation, implant extrusion and implant dislocation occurred in 7-23 months (mean = 15.6 months) of follow-up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Satisfactory prothetic motility was obtained in all cases.
