    From my understanding coming from a friend that experienced it, yes.

    Dude had to have his eye socket rebuilt with titanium mesh.

        Sorry, had to edit to clarify.

        This happened to a friend of mine back in 2004 or so, he had an accident with a log truck.

        It took around 40 titanium parts and half of a donor cadaver jaw to reassemble him.

        He sadly passed away a couple years ago, but I saw his Xrays, it’s a miracle the fella lived that long after.

          I’m sorry for your loss. I’m glad he did live after. That’s really scary
