Figure 4

Plot comparison of ODI scale [[15]] of orbital injury and material used for orbital walls reconstruction. Although patients were assigned to both groups randomly there was a statistically significant difference between those two groups. Patients treated with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene suffered from more extensive fractures than those treated with pre-bent titanium mesh. ODI scale [15] is described as follows: 1. site of destruction: floor i.e. one wall (1W); 2. floor+one wall (medial or lateral) i.e. two walls (2W); 3. floor+one margin i.e. one wall and one orbital margin (1W+1M);4. floor+one wall+one margin i.e. 2W+1M; 5. floor+one wall+two margins i.e. 2W+2M; 6. floor+two walls+one margin i.e. 3W+1M; 7. floor+one or two walls+two margins i.e. 3W+2M; 8. floor+two or three walls+more than one margin i.e. 3-4W+2-4M.
