摘要: A biocompatible and pliable metallic surgical implant plate for use in the repair rigid fixation of internal fractures floor walls orbit. The includes an elongated base portion which is compliant shaping to interface with rim structure Three perforated leaf portions, spaced from one-another, project rearwardly portion. central conform configuration orbit floor, one outboard portions medial wall other lateral Attachment legs, including screw holes, forwardly are fitment anterior face being affixed by bone screws applied through holes attachment legs. Alternatively, orbital reinforcing bar, may be attached a series provided thin coating synthetic sheathing material inhibit ingrowth hard soft tissue into perforation portions.
