Dr. Manoj Goyal, Dr. Mayank Singhal, Dr. J. S. Dua, Dr. Sanjeev Tomar

Abstract :

Background: Bone reconstruction is thought to be dependent on skills, quality of soft tissues, size and location of the bony defect and choice of method of repair.

Materials and method: The aim of reconstruction was to achieve a lifelong, stable, structural reconstruction of the frontal and supra orbital margin with the help of H.D.P.E implant. Result: The deformity was well reconstructed and there was no implant migration or resorption. Conclusion: Porous polyethylene has proved to be an alternative material to autogenous bone grafting.
