The application and progress of high-density porous polyethylene in the repair of orbital wall defect.

High-density porous polyethylene is a type of polymeric biomaterial. When used to efficiently fill the extensive orbital volume and correct enophthalmos caused by orbital wall defect, it has a significant advantage of biocompatibility, which results in a low rate of postoperative exposure and infection. The major disadvantage of this material is its radiolucency. However, with the development of imaging techniques, it is now possible to use multidetector computed tomography to directly contour the implant and describe its position. The use of tissue engineering involving high-density porous polyethylene will further improve its biocompatibility. At the same time, composite materials will play an important role in the repair of orbital wall defect.
