- Abstract
Background: The aim of this network meta‐analysis (NMA) was to compare the clinical results obtained after primary reconstruction of orbital floor fractures (OFF) using different materials. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases were screened from 1989 to 2019. For a study to be eligible, it had to evaluate two or more materials and report the following clinical parameters: diplopia and/or enophthalmos and/or other complications. Results: Nine studies involving 946 patients presenting with an OFF were included. After the surgical procedure, 105 patients (11%) had diplopia, while 43 patients (4.5%) suffered from enophthalmos. The NMA revealed that less postoperative diplopia and enophthalmos were obtained either by using polydioxanone (PDS), or a polymer of l‐lactic acid and dl‐lactic acid (P[L/DL]LA), or porous polyethylene, or titanium mesh compared with the use of autologous bone grafts. Conclusion: P(L/DL)LA and PDS seem to be the best options for small and intermediate defects, whereas the association of porous polyethylene and titanium should be preferred for larger defects.
