Abstract:
We report on a method of fixing orbital prostheses and artificial eyes: First the orbit is filled by cortico-spongious bone graft. Afterwards two implants are centrally located in the graft, so that the prosthesis can be kept in place by magnetic retention. The advantage of this procedure is that the implants are more stable than those located in the orbital rim.
