ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different types of implants used for repairing the orbital floor, which is the area under the eye that can be damaged in injuries known as blow-out fractures. The study aims to compare a custom-made zirconia implant with a custom-made titanium implant to see which one provides better accuracy during surgery, fits better, maintains the correct volume of the eye socket, and causes fewer issues with the surrounding tissues, all while being more cost-effective.

To participate in this trial, individuals need to be between 18 and 60 years old and have a blow-out fracture, either on its own or alongside other fractures. They should be healthy enough for surgery and willing to follow through with the procedure and any necessary aftercare. However, people who have had previous eye socket surgeries, have certain health issues, or cannot cooperate during the study will not be eligible. Participants can expect to be closely monitored during and after the surgery to assess how well each type of implant works.
