This report is being filed after the review of the following journal article: peng, m., merbs, s., grant, m.And mahoney, n.(2016), orbital fracture repair outcomes with preformed titanium mesh implants and comparison to porous polyethylene coated titanium sheets, journal of cranio-maxillo-facial surgery, vol.45(2), pages 271-274 (usa).The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of the matrixmidface titanium preformed orbital plate (pfti) (depuy synthes, west chester, pa, usa) and of our use of porous polyethylene coated titanium sheet (ppeti) (medpor titan barrier, stryker, kalamazoo, mi, usa) implants during the same time period.A total of 195 patients were treated with a matrixmidface titanium preformed orbital plate (pfti) (depuy synthes, west chester, pa, usa).171 patients underwent a first time repair with pfti and 24 received pfti after a previous repair.Only 47 patients had follow-up for more than 12 weeks.The following complications were reported as follows: 3 patients for the first time repair underwent removal or revision and 2 patients had reoperation.3 patients for the first time repair underwent orbital volume augmentation and 2 patients had reoperation.1 patient for the first time repair underwent strabismus surgery and 2 patients had reoperation.2 patients for the first time repair underwent upper eyelid surgery (e.G.Ptosis repair) and 2 patients had reoperation.6 patients for the first time repair underwent lower eyelid surgery (e.G.Retraction, entropion, ectropion repair) and 7 patients had reoperation.146 patients reported diplopia at presentation, which was reported as subjectively better or resolved at last follow-up in 126 patients for those who underwent first time repair.202 patients reported diplopia on presentation, which was better in 166 patients at last follow-up.29 patients had diplopia during their course and it was noted as subjectively present at last follow-up in 17 patients.3 patients had diplopia in primary gaze requiring surgery with 1 patient undergoing inferior rectus recession, i inferior oblique myectomy and 1 implant removal.1 patient had an entrapped inferior rectus muscle identified prior to the prior surgery.This is for an unknown matrixmidface titanium preformed orbital plate (pfti).This is report 1 of 2 for (b)(4).
