BMP-7 Preserves Surface Integrity of Degradable-ceramic Cranioplasty in a Göttingen Minipig Model
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate the integrity of a craniotomy grafted site in a minipig model using different highly porous calcium phosphate ceramic scaffolds either loaded or nonloaded with bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7). METHODS Four craniotomies with a diameter of 15 mm (critical-size defect) were grafted with different highly porous (92-94 vol%) calcium phosphate ce...
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...
متن کاملTitanium mesh implants exposure after cranioplasty in two children: involvement of osteogenesis?
Background: Although technically regarded as a simple procedure, titanium mesh cranioplasty could lead to various surgical complications, including postoperative implant exposure. However, there is little data available on the occurrence and risk factors of this complication in the pediatric population. Cases presentation: Two pediatric male patients, one 12-year-old and one 7-year-old, had dec...
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 ...
