Cranioplasty aims to reconstruct skull defects from fractures, decompressive craniectomies, tumors, and congenital anomalies in a cosmetically acceptable manner. We present a technique in methyl methacrylate cranioplasty that gives excellent cosmetic results by maintaining patient's calvarial curvature.
Cranioplasty material is placed into a plastic bag and packed inside the defect. Wire mesh cut larger than the defect is held in position to take the exact skull curvature. Once solid, the implant is fixed in position using titanium plates and mini-screws.
This is a simple, inexpensive method of achieving the most cosmetically desired cranioplasty results.
颅骨成形术旨在以美观可接受的方式修复因骨折、减压性颅骨切除术、肿瘤和先天性异常导致的颅骨缺损。我们介绍一种甲基丙烯酸甲酯颅骨成形术技术,该技术通过保持患者颅骨曲率,可产生出色的美容效果。
将颅骨成形材料放入塑料袋中并填充在缺损处。切割成比缺损大的金属丝网固定在适当位置以获取精确的颅骨曲率。一旦固化,使用钛板和微型螺钉将植入物固定在适当位置。
这是一种简单、廉价的方法,可实现最符合美容需求的颅骨成形术效果。
