Comparison of post-operative outcomes of graft materials used in reconstruction of blow-out fractures.

CONCLUSION: Results show that the auricular conchal cartilage graft was the best biomaterial used to repair defects smaller than 4 cm², where as titanium mesh was a good option to repair defects larger than 4 cm². However, selection of the optimal biomaterial to be used to repair orbital blow-out fractures should be made according to patient characteristics and preoperative findings, the severity of the injury, the cost of the biomaterial to be used, and surgeon's expertise.
