Reconstruction 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...
متن کاملSurgical 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...
متن کاملCustom-fit radiolucent cranial implants for neurophysiological recording and stimulation.
BACKGROUND Recording and manipulating neural activity in awake behaving animal models requires long-term implantation of cranial implants that must address a variety of design considerations, which include preventing infection, minimizing tissue damage, mechanical strength of the implant, and MRI compatibility. NEW METHOD Here we address these issues by designing legless, custom-fit cranial i...
متن کاملPrefabricated Patient-Matched Cranial Implants for Reconstruction of Large Skull Defects
Cranial defects can be caused by injury, infection, or tumor invasion. Large defects should be reconstructed to protect the brain and normalize the cerebral hemodynamics. The conventional method is to cover the defect with bone cement. Custom-made implants designed for the individual patient are now available. We report our experience with one such product in patients with large cranial defects...
