In ‘Case series of shrinking hydroxyapatite orbital implants’, Han et al 1 draws attention to a particularly interesting postoperative complication. The authors report the potential shrinking of mammalian bone-derived hydroxyapatite orbital implants by osteoclastic activity, which may lead to orbital volume loss. This volume loss might affect the cosmesis and the prosthesis motility leading to a significantly reduced quality of life.2–5 However, this study did not …

眼眶植入物：材料很重要

在“缩小羟基磷灰石眼眶植入物系列病例”中，Han 等人 1 提请注意一个特别有趣的术后并发症。作者报告了哺乳动物骨衍生的羟基磷灰石眼眶植入物可能因破骨细胞活动而缩小，这可能导致眼眶体积减少。这种体积损失可能会影响美观和假体运动，从而导致生活质量显着降低。2-5 然而，这项研究并没有……
