Özet

Objective: The porous polyethylene implant (PPEI) is one of the most commonly used alloplastic materials in cranio-maxillofacial surgery. It is widely preferred because of its biocompatible, durable, flexible and thin nature as well as for its low complication rates. The purpose of the present study was to review the clinical and surgical outcomes of PPEI usage for orbital floor fractures.
