Feasibility of the custom-made titanium cranioplasty CRANIOTOP®
BACKGROUND With decompressive craniectomy for ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, and skull-infiltrating tumors, the need for cranioplasty has increased. Different materials for custom-made cranioplasties have been evaluated, but a gold standard could not yet be established. We report our experience with the new custom-made titanium CRANIOTOP(®)cranioplasty (CL Instruments, Germany). MET...
متن کاملHistological assessment of porous custom-made hydroxyapatite implants 6 months and 2.5 years after cranioplasty
BACKGROUND In cranial reconstruction, the features of artificial bone differ. Custom-made porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) implants for cranioplasty have been used all over the world because of their good cosmetic, biocompatibility, and osteoconductive properties. Surgical techniques were analyzed, and histological assessment of new bone formation in the hydroxyapatite was performed. METHODS Over ...
متن کاملUse of “custom made” porous hydroxyapatite implants for cranioplasty: postoperative analysis of complications in 1549 patients
BACKGROUND Cranioplasty is a surgical intervention aimed at reestablishing the integrity of skull defects, and should be considered the conclusion of a surgical act that began with bone flap removal. Autologous bone is still considered the treatment of choice for cranioplasty. An alternative choice is bioceramic porous hydroxyapatite (HA) as it is one of the materials that meets and comes close...
