Surgical pitfalls with custom-made porous hydroxyapatite cranial implants

Aim: Cranioplasty implants are used primarily in cases of surgical cranial decompression following pathological elevations of intracranial pressure. Available bone substitutes include porous hydroxyapatite (HA) and polymethylmethacrylate. Whichever material is used, however, prosthetic cranial implants are susceptible to intraand postsurgical complications and even failure. The aim of this stud...

Use 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...

Bone properties surrounding hydroxyapatite-coated custom osseous integrated dental implants.

Calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite or HA) coatings have been applied to Custom Osseous Integrated Implants (COIIs) to improve the quality of the bone-implant integration, yet little is known concerning the biomechanical properties of bone surrounding the HA-coated implants in humans over the long term. The purpose of this study was to characterize the mechanical and histomorphometric properties ...
