چکیده

Most techniques of cranioplasty are expensive and require advance preparation if a custom-moulded prosthesis is to be used. Technical problems with cranioplasties using synthetic materials include sinking, elevation and rotation, while those with hydroxyapatite or bone graft cranioplasties include resorption and harvest site disfigurement. We report our technique of in situ cranioplasty using methylmethacrylate and a wire lattice that is fast, inexpensive and avoids these technical problems.

Methyl methacrylate is one of the most preferred materials for cranioplasty. It is usually prepared out of the surgical site and therefore modelling of the cranioplasty material to fit the bone defect is sometimes di...
