Document Language : English 
Abstract : Objectives: fractures of the orbital walls can occur in isolation or association with other facial fractures. The article evaluates the use of titanium micromesh and plate in orbital reconstruction after traumatic injury. Material and methods: 13 patients with orbital fractures were included in the study; clinical and radiographic examination including C.T. scan were performed for all patients. Early repair was the policy to treat those patients. Rim fractures were stabilized by titanium microplating system while wall defects were reconstructed using titanium micromesh. Results: Normal eye function without diplopia or restricted motility was noted in II patients. Normal globe position was seen in 12 patients while enophthalmos persisted in one patient. Conclusion: Titanium micromesh and plate system proved to be good alternative to other alloplastics or grafts in orbital reconstruction.
