The close proximity between the implant and the retina also increases the possibility of thermal damage to the retina from heat generated by the implant.

neuroretinal rim (area and volume) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (retinal surface height variation, thickness, asymmetry). These stereometric parameters are compared with extensive databases and thus enable the eye to be classified taking into account the individual papillae size and the patient's age.
Anterior femoral notching (the femoral component causing reduced thickness of the distal femur anteriorly), which seems to cause an increased risk of fractures when exceeding about 3 mm. Reference: (2015).

The two wax rims are then notched in order to allow an index of the relationship of the maxillary rim to the mandibular rim with a medium, such as Alluwax or Regisal.
