Abstract:
Hydroxyapatite artificial eye mount has no toxicity,no sensitization and good histocompatibility.Its porous structure is beneficial for the ingrowth of new vessels and fibrous tissues,thereby it is the main implant of orbital reconstruction following enucleation.With the wide application in clinics,hydroxyapatite artificial eye mount also show some complications such as conjunctival humbling,erosion,split and artificial eye mount exposure.There are many causes for these complications and the most one is the stimulation and wearing of orbital soft tissues induced by crude implants,as well as the delaying in vessels.Using autologous or variant tissue for covering or encapsulating the anterior artificial eye mount,the mount will be strengthen and become smooth,thereby reducing the friction.Autologous sclera is superior to other encapsulating materials.
