Cranial autologous bone flap resorption after a cranioplasty: A case report
Background Craniectomies and cranioplasty are common neurosurgical procedures performed after brain trauma, ischemia, tumor resection, or infection. Post-cranioplasty autologous bone flap resorption may occur in patients after delayed cranial reconstruction. The occurrence is usually low when bone flaps are stored in subcutaneous abdominal tissue. We report a unique case of post-cranioplasty cr...
متن کاملUse of bioabsorbable plates for cranial fixation.
LactoSorb fixation plates are made of a bioabsorbable polymer (82% poly-L-lactic acid and 18% polyglycolic acid), and the strength is not inferior to titanium plates. LactoSorb has been used in the fields of pediatric neurosurgery and facial plastic surgery. Cranial fixation in craniotomy is mostly performed using titanium plates and clamps, but there are issues with esthetics and artifacts on ...
متن کاملMini titanium plates; hearkening the end of non-rigid cranial bone flap fixation
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Craniotomy bone flaps should be replaced for both cosmetic and protective purposes. Different methods are available commercially. The aim of this study was to assess outcome of bone flap fixation using mini titanium plates and screws. METHODS Between March, 2011 and March, 2014, 71 patients underwent cranial bone flap fixation with mini titanium plates and screws afte...
متن کاملMini titanium plates and screws for cranial bone flap fixation; an experience from Pakistan
The biocompatibility and osseointegrative qualities of the element titanium have allowed its extensive use medical science especially Orthopedics and Neurosurgery, effectively replacing its predecessor, steel. Historically, nonabsorbable sutures were used to anchor the bone flap following a craniotomy but have been associated with functional and cosmetic defects as well as nonunion and failure ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Host Bone Substrate in Titanium Mesh Cranioplasty
Reconstructive surgery of bone defects in the calvarium makes use of a multitude of biological and artificial materials. Due to the increased number of such medical casuistry in the recent years, a special attention was dedicated to the biocompatibility and osteointegrative properties of various types of biomaterials. Titanium emerged to be a promising cranioplasty material due to its excellent...
