Background and Objectives：Enophthalmos is a comon sequelae of orbital fracture. Moreover, it is difficult to treat second-arily. We assessed the effect of filling up the orbital volume defect with implants on the correction of late posttraumatic enoph-thalmos. Subjects and Method：because of late postraumatic enophthalmos from July 2001 to December 2005. To corect late posttraumatic enophthalmos, porous polyethylene (Medpor), Medporenophthalmos wedge implant, absorbable mesh, bone graft particulate, rib cartilage, auricle cartilage, and maxilla anterior wall were used. Results：Among 11 patients, 6 patients were men and 5 patients were women. The average age was 33.2 years with the follow-up period of 21.8 months. Five patients had orbital floor fracture, 1 3 patients had zygoma fracture. Excellent results were obtained in all 5 patients with diplopia. The amount of enophthalmos corrected was between 1 and 5 mm (mean 2.5 mm). There was no case of visual loss, infection, migration, or exposure of implant, but we caried out re-operation on 1 case due to over reduction. Conclusion：Filling up the volume defect with proper implants is a relatively simple, safe and efficient technique in corecting late posttraumatic enophthalmos. (Korean J Otolaryngol 2007;50:128-33)
