title: Fascia lata autograft for orbital floor reconstruction.
abstract: Enophthalmos and diplopia are two major complications that result from a downward displacement of the eyeball. A case in which a fascia lata autograft was used to prevent these complications is presented. When covered by a flap with rich blood supply, this autograft can be used as a good substitute for alloplastic materials.
