Orbital fracture is a common orbital complication of traumatic diseases, and some of them need to be treated by
orbital fracture repair surgery. Implants of different materials are one of the important factors affecting the surgical
outcome and prognosis. There is no uniform standard for the selection of implants at home and abroad. At present,
most of the implant materials used in clinical practice are heterogeneous materials, including non-absorbable
materials and absorbable materials. The most commonly used non-absorbable materials are titanium mesh and
high-density polyethylene (Medpor). Absorbable materials are mainly all kinds of macromolecular polymers.
These two types of materials have shown different advantages and disadvantages in clinical. By reviewing the
relevant reports recent 5 years, and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of materials,
we can provide some references for clinicians to choose from.
