title: Clinical application of artificial orbital implantation with a turning implantation method in 46 cases.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze and summarize the application of a turning implantation method in artificial orbital implantation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Artificial orbital implants were implanted into 46 patients who were willing to accept artificial orbital implantation with a turning implantation method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After the implantation, 46 cases (46 eyes) with HA orbital implants were healed with plump orbits. No ptosis appearance, deformity, or rejection was observed. The implants were qualified in appearance and flexibility. Two cases presented with chemosis and eye grinding pain during the early postoperative period, but these patients recovered after effective treatment. After 6-24 months of follow-up, no patient had artificial implant exposure or abnormal orbital stimulation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The turning implantation method provides a good artificial orbital implantation.
