Customized Cranioplasty Implants Using Three-Dimensional Printers and Polymethyl-Methacrylate Casting
OBJECTIVE The prefabrication of customized cranioplastic implants has been introduced to overcome the difficulties of intra-operative implant molding. The authors present a new technique, which consists of the prefabrication of implant molds using three-dimensional (3D) printers and polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) casting. METHODS A total of 16 patients with large skull defects (>100 cm(2)) un...
متن کاملComparing 3-Dimensional Virtual Reconstruction methods in Customized Implants
In medical and surgery applications, the implant design is the key. Any mismatch in the implant design results in the implant failure as well as psychological stress and pain to the patient. Measuring and inspecting the geometrical implant design with the reference model is very important, to ensure the proper fitting and safety of the patient. The purpose of this study is to perform the evalua...
متن کاملMultidisciplinary approach for improved outcomes in secondary cranial reconstruction: introducing the pericranial-onlay cranioplasty technique.
BACKGROUND Although materials for secondary cranial reconstruction have evolved with time, the overall approach in terms of bone flap/implant reconstruction after necessary delay has remained constant. OBJECTIVE To present our cases series of 50 consecutive secondary cranial reconstruction patients and to describe a multidisciplinary cranioplasty approach developed to reduce morbidity, to min...
متن کاملReconstruction of cranial base defects using the Medpor Titan implant: cranioplasty applications in acoustic neuroma surgery.
INTRODUCTION Reconstruction of cranial defects is an essential component of skull base surgery as it aids in restoring functionality, providing coverage of intradural structures, and achieving optimal cosmesis. In acoustic neuroma surgery, tumor removal and subsequent reconstruction of the skull base defect are equally important elements. All three approaches utilized in acoustic neuroma surger...
متن کاملReconstruction of cranial bone defects using alloplastic implants produced from a stereolithographically-generated cranial model.
Larger cranial bone defects can cause cranial disfigurement as well as potential mechanical brain trauma. Conventionally pre-fabricated acrylic cranioplasty implants require complicated procedures and result in potential dimensional and contour inaccuracies. The development of stereolithographic techniques for generating acrylic resin skull models allows the pre-fabrication of custom acrylic re...
