摘要：

PURPOSE/METHODS: Over the past six years, we have used ordinary radiographic film as a template for sizing alloplastic implants for orbital fracture repair in over 60 patients, The implants are made of such materials as titanium, Vitallium, and porous high-density polyethylene. Autoclaved 9.5 x 4.5-cm rectangles of radiographic film are easily trimmed, held by nontoothed forceps, inserted, and removed from the orbital cavity. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: We have found this simple and inexpensive technique to be superior to using aluminum templates that are supplied in commercially available plating sets.
