The 'baseball' orbital implant was described by Frueh and Felker in 1976. Although this implant was originally described for use as a secondary implant, it has also been widely used as a primary implant at the time of enucleation. This prospective study evaluated the effectiveness of this implant used both primarily and secondarily. Forty-four patients were implanted between April 1990 and May 1991, 19 of the implants being primary and 25 secondary. A standardised operative and post-operative protocol was followed. The mean follow-up time was 31 months (range 24-36 months). The patients were evaluated for the degree of volume replacement, implant and associated prosthesis motility, secondary eyelid and socket problems, patient satisfaction, the need for further surgery and post-operative complications. The overall results achieved by primary implantation were superior to those of secondary implantation. Our results suggest that this implant provides a satisfactory functional and cosmetic rehabilitation of the anophthalmic patient with few complications.
“棒球”型眼眶植入物由弗吕厄和费尔克于1976年进行了描述。尽管这种植入物最初被描述用作二期植入物，但它也已在眼球摘除时广泛用作一期植入物。这项前瞻性研究评估了这种植入物一期和二期使用的有效性。1990年4月至1991年5月期间为44例患者植入了该植入物，其中19例为一期植入，25例为二期植入。遵循标准化的手术和术后方案。平均随访时间为31个月（范围24 - 36个月）。对患者进行了以下评估：体积替代程度、植入物及相关假体的活动度、继发性眼睑和眼窝问题、患者满意度、进一步手术的必要性以及术后并发症。一期植入所取得的总体结果优于二期植入。我们的结果表明，这种植入物能为无眼球患者提供令人满意的功能和美容康复效果，且并发症较少。
