Is orbital floor reconstruction with titanium mesh safe?

Titanium mesh has become a common material used in implants. Using this alloplastic material reduces the need for bone grafts and other types of natural materials. A study from the Journal of Cranio-maxillofacial Trauma explored the course of treatment for orbital floor fracture patients using titanium mesh. The study showed good results from the titanium, concluding that “Titanium mesh implants are a simple and reliable option for orbital floor repair.”

Another later study followed titanium mesh patients throughout the recovery period and concluded that titanium mesh is a suitable material for the reconstruction of orbital fractures. Few complications were noted, and those were mainly due to difficulties in restoring anatomy and volume.
