Orbital floor fractures comprise 4%\u201316% of facial fractures and are of particular interest due to their unique anatomy and proximity to the eye. Treatment typically involves reconstruction with various materials as described in the literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of polycaprolactone (PCL) mesh in comparison to titanium mesh in the management of orbital floor fractures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty patients with clinically and radiographically confirmed orbital floor fractures were assigned to two groups: Group A (PCL mesh) and Group B (titanium mesh). Pre- and postoperative assessments included ocular motility, diplopia, dystopia, enophthalmos, infection, and implant stability. Follow-up evaluations were conducted on postoperative day 1, at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PCL mesh demonstrated superior intraoperative handling, whereas adaptability and stability were similar between groups. Postoperatively, diplopia occurred in one patient (5%), dystopia in three patients (15%), and enophthalmos in five patients (25%), with no cases of infection, inflammatory response, implant migration, or hardware failure. All fractures achieved successful defect closure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both PCL and titanium meshes are effective for moderately sized orbital floor reconstructions.
