Customized Cranioplasty Implants Using Three-Dimensional Printers and Polymethyl-Methacrylate Casting
OBJECTIVE The prefabrication of customized cranioplastic implants has been introduced to overcome the difficulties of intra-operative implant molding. The authors present a new technique, which consists of the prefabrication of implant molds using three-dimensional (3D) printers and polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) casting. METHODS A total of 16 patients with large skull defects (>100 cm(2)) un...

متن کاملComparison of Complications Following Cranioplasty Using a Sterilized Autologous Bone Flap or Polymethyl Methacrylate
OBJECTIVE The aims of current study are to compare complications following cranioplasty (CP) using either sterilized autologous bone or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and to identify the risk factors for two of the most common complications: bone flap resorption (BFR) and surgical site infection (SSI). METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2013, 127 patients underwent CP and were followe...
متن کاملMethyl methacrylate cranioplasty.
We conducted a prospective study in order to audit our experience of repairing cranial defects using Methyl methacrylate. This included a total of 49 patients undergoing cranioplasty using methyl methacrylate, of which 45 were males and 4 females. The age of patients at the time of surgery ranged from 16 to 40 years old, with an average of 24 years. Malays were the majority (67%), followed by C...
