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 کاملTitanium cranioplasty.
The technique of repairing defects of the skull with titanium is described. The skull contour can be accurately reproduced. The technique is simpler than wiring or suturing methods. The material is inert, radiolucent, and rigid.
متن کاملSkull Reconstruction with Custom Made Three-Dimensional Titanium Implant
BACKGROUND Source material used to fill calvarial defects includes autologous bones and synthetic alternatives. While autologous bone is preferable to synthetic material, autologous reconstruction is not always feasible due to defect size, unacceptable donor-site morbidity, and other issues. Today, advanced three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques allow for fabrication of titanium implants cu...
متن کاملTridimensional titanium-printed custom-made prosthesis for sternocostal reconstruction.
A broad range of materials have been described for sternal reconstruction in order to guarantee not only the best preservation of respiratory mechanics, but also adequate mediastinal protection and acceptable cosmetic results. Today, titanium implants are preferred by many surgeons because of their optimal features. As a step forward, tridimensional (3D) laser sintering printing techniques allo...
متن کاملCustom-made laser-welded titanium implant prosthetic abutment.
A technique to create an individually modified implant prosthetic abutment is described. An overcasting is waxed onto a machined titanium abutment, cast in titanium, and joined to it with laser welding. With the proposed technique, a custom-made titanium implant prosthetic abutment is created with adequate volume and contour of metal to support a screw-retained, metal-ceramic implant-supported ...
