DOI: 10.1007/s12663-017-1047-2
Abstract: BackgroundBoth alloplastic 3-D dynamic titanium mesh implants and Autogenous split calvarial cortico-cancellous bone grafts have been extensively used for cranial defect reconstruction. Whether either method is procedurally, cosmetically or therapeutically superior to the other, has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/sap.0000000000003454
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Pediatric cranial defects can be preceded by prior infection, radiation therapy, failed prior cranioplasty, or cerebrospinal fluid leak, leading to a complex reconstructive environment. The primary aim of this study was to investigate differences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000005010
Abstract: Background: While autologous split calvarial bone is an ideal graft material in cranioplasty, selection of a donor site can be challenging and limited in the reconstruction of complicated cranial defects. Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM)… read more here.
