ABSTRACT:
An orbital enucleation implant is made out of porous material, such as porous polyethylene. The implant is shaped to have a conical posterior projection to provide for additional volume augmentation and a superior projection to fill out and prevent any superior sulcus deformity. A cavity or holes are provided in the superior projection to provide a site for attachment of the superior rectus muscle. A flange or lip is provided extending between the lateral sides of the implant around the inferior surface of the implant to provide a site for attachment of extraocular muscles.
