This report is being filed after the review of the following journal article: sung woo park, jong woo choi, kyung s.Koh, and tae suk oh (2015), mirror-imaged rapid prototype skull model and pre-molded synthetic scaffold to achieve optimal orbital cavity reconstruction, journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery vol.73(8), pages 1540-1553 (korea, south).The retrospective study that evaluates the mirror-imaged rapid prototype skull model and a pre-molded synthetic scaffold for traumatic orbital wall reconstruction.Between january 2012 to april 2014, a total of 127 patients (83 males and 44 females) with a mean age of 35 years (range, 11 to 87 years) were included in the study.The 57 patients were completed using a porous polyethylene plate (synthes) and 45 patients used a competitor¿s device for orbital reconstruction.In addition, 23 cases were found to have no true orbital wall defect and therefore underwent open reduction of the facial buttress or soft tissue augmentation for post-traumatic deformity.However, 2 cases showed extensive orbital wall defects and loss of the orbital rim framework, for which conventional ready-to-wear synthetic material was not sufficient.For these patients, titanium mesh (synthes) was used and fixed onto the intact facial buttress.After exposure of orbital wall defects, pre-molded synthetic scaffolds were placed on the defect and further fixated with 4-mm matrix midface screws (synthes) when needed.The mean duration of follow-up was 14 months.The article did not specify which of the devices were being used to capture the following complications: 10 patients had mild enophthalmos with less than 2-mm difference were reported, but no further revisionary procedures were performed.2 patients had persistent diplopia and underwent reoperation.1 patient had severe ocular rectus muscle edema that, with proper coverage with a synthetic scaffold, resolved spontaneously 3 weeks after the revisionary procedure.4 patients underwent a secondary touchup procedure to contour the overlying soft tissue (2 lower blepharoplasties, 1 flap debulking, and 1 ectropion correction).1 patient, the synthetic scaffold was too large for the defect; therefore, the scaffold was trimmed and reinserted over the defect and the diplopia was resolved after the revisionary procedure.This report is for an unknown 4-mm matrix midface screws (synthes).This report is 3 of 5 for complaint (b)(4).It captures the reported events of mild enophthalmos, persistent diplopia, severe ocular rectus muscle edema.
