    Abstract:

    AIM: To investigate the effect of repair materials for orbital blowout fractures on the occurrence of postoperative complications. METHODS: The clinical data and follow-up data of 54 subjects with orbital blowout fractures were retrospectively analyzed. The study was divided into three groups according to the used repair materials: titanium mesh (16 cases), Medpor (12 cases), and Medpor titanium mesh (26 cases). All test data were analyzed using the SPSS version 23.0 statistical software. The mean age and duration of disease between the groups were compared through one-way analysis of variance. The Chi-square (χ2) test was used to compare the number of males and females, different fracture types, and different surgical approaches among groups. The χ2 test was used to compare the frequencies for complications in each group. RESULTS: The baseline characteristics of age and gender in each group were matched (F=1.763, P=0.172; χ2=0.026, P=0.987). In addition, there was no difference in the type of fracture and surgical approach (χ2=0.460, P=0.977; χ2=0.691, P=0.952), or the incidence of complications (χ2=0.081, P=0.960) between the three groups. CONCLUSION: Although there is no difference in effect of various repair materials on the incidence of complications, the effect of repair materials on postoperative complications of orbital blowout fractures should not be ignored.
