Popis:	The loss of an eye is a highly traumatic event, with severe psychological and physical implications. From November 1996 to June 2002, 32 patients underwent eye enucleation and placement of a hydroxyapatite orbital implant wrapped in autologous fascia lata; this was then fixed to the four rectus muscles. Motility was noted in all reconstructed sockets, without implant related complications. The immediate post-operative period was uncomplicated and all patients were discharged within 48 to 72 h after surgery. The orbital implant remained well positioned without dehiscence and motility was satisfactory. The follow-up ranged from 8 months to more than 5 years.
