[Application of polyester fiber heart patches to secondary intraorbital implantation of hydroxyapatite spheres].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of intraorbital implantation of hydroxyapatite spheres wrapped with polyester fiber heart patches.


METHODS
According to the rectus contraction points four rectus were found and the rectus valves were created in anophthalmos. Then the hydroxyapatite sphere wrapped by the polyester fiber heart patch was inserted in the orbit.


RESULTS
There were 13 cases in this group. Of them 11 patients showed very good operative results, Local poor healing of bulbar conjunctiva and fascia occurred in 2 patients. The wound in one patient healed very well after a simple repairing operation and in the other the wound healed spontaneously without any special treatments.


CONCLUSIONS
The effect of secondary intraorbital implantation of hydroxyapatite spheres wrapped by polyester fiber heart patches is positive. The polyester fiber heart patch is safe, reliable, cheap, very convenient in use and easy to obtain. It is a better substitute for sclera which is used to wrap the HA sphere.
