Abstract:
This article reports on the experience gained with outer table calvarial bone grafts used for the reconstruction of the bony orbital walls in 43 patients. The transplants were harvested in the parietal area above the non-dominant hemisphere. Morbidity and complication rate at the harvest site were extremely low. In all patients the grafts became uneventfully incorporated.
