Abstract

A follow-up study of a group of 40 patients after the enucleation completed by the intra-orbital acrylic spherical magnetic implant (Roper-Hall style) is presented. The mean postoperative observation time is 3.3 years. Late complications were present in two patients: the extrusion of the implant in one of them was probably caused by his poor state due to chronic dialysis, while the traumatic luxation of the implant in the other was surgically repaired. Postoperative results in all other patients were satisfactory with the adequate orbital volume substitution and the ability of the prosthesis to twist and turn in any axis without fitting problems.
