General and Treatment-Specific Outcomes with Osseointegrated Implants in Auricular, Nasal, and Orbital Prosthetic Reconstruction
Osseointegrated implants are a reliable, permanent option for a realistic prosthesis. Radiation and prior surgery are significantly associated with an increased risk of implant failure but not associated with the inability to use the prosthesis. Regardless of prior treatments, bone-retained implants should be considered in facial reconstruction, especially after failing autologous repair or with concerns for cosmetic outcomes.
