Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg 1996, 12:235-239. Basic fibroblast growth factor has been shown to stimulate endothelial cell growth and sucralfate binds and stabilizes bFGF. In this in vitro study, Medpor and HA discs coated in sucralfate and bFGF exhibited a twofold to threefold increase in endothelial proliferation over control discs.

Autogenous grafts were used to cover primary, secondary, and exposed HA and Medpor implants. The autografts used were corneoscleral buttons or scierai grafts from the enucleated eyes, the implant capsule from migrated implants that were being removed, and supraorbital rim periosteum.

Eleven exposed porous spherical orbital implants from a group of 101 patients were seen. Implant exposure was more likely in patients who had undergone evisceration. No treatment was necessary for small exposures (1 to 5 mm). Medium and large exposures were treated with implant surface revision or replacement.
