Hypothesis: Polycaprolactone / Tricalcium Phosphate (PCL / TCP) Orbital Implant is as effective in the reconstruction of the Orbital walls as Titanium Mesh~In this study we will be conducting a randomised trial to compare implants made of 2 materials for Orbital reconstruction~Polycaprolactone / Tricalcium Phosphate (PCL / TCP)~Titanium~Patients to be recruited :~80 randomised equally into the 2 groups~age range: 21 -70~includes orbital wall defects from trauma confirmed by Computer Tomographic (CT) scans, after osteotomies~excludes patients with Diabetes Mellitus, known allergies to polycaprolactone & its analogues, know allergies to Tricalcium Phosphate & its analogues, infections generalised & around the orbital region~Trial Duration : April 2010 - March 2015~Follow up:~postoperative 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months~Computer Tomographic (CT) scan of Orbits immediate postoperative and at 12 months appointment~all patients will be seen & assessed in the Plastic & Ophthalmology outpatient clinics by Principal Investigator (PI) and collaborators~End point :~endpoint for follow-up is 12 months~all patients are assessed for assessed for diplopia, enophthalmos, exophthalmos, visual acuity, mobility of the globe, contour symmetry~all patients will have a Computer Tomographic (CT) scan of the orbits at 12 months to assess the bony orbit & orbital volume~patients will be discharged from follow up at 12 months if asymptomatic~patients with complications will exit the protocol & will be treated on their merits eg. infection - removal of implant, etc~Data Management :~maintained by the Principal Investigator (PI) under repository of the Research & Development Office, National Healthcare Group (NHG) / National University Health Systems (NUHS), Singapore~no data will be released without the permission of the Principal Investigator (PI) & the Research & Development Office, National Healthcare Group (NHG) / National University Health Systems (NUHS), Singapore
