This paper is to report a new method of reconstructing surgical skull defects with hydroxylapatite ceramics. The latter consist of Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 which has a biological affinity with mammalian bone minerals. The author has designed two cranioplastic materials using hydroxylapatite ceramics: apatite buttons for burr hole skull defects and apatite granules for linear skull defects. The bone defects during 100 cases of standard craniotomy were successfully reconstructed with these materials with satisfactory cosmetic results. Hydroxylapatite ceramics are characterized by the excellent biocompatibility and biostability with a resultant bony fusion.
本文旨在报告一种用羟基磷灰石陶瓷修复颅骨手术缺损的新方法。羟基磷灰石陶瓷由Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2组成，与哺乳动物骨矿物质具有生物亲和性。作者用羟基磷灰石陶瓷设计了两种颅骨修复材料：用于颅骨钻孔缺损的磷灰石纽扣和用于颅骨线性缺损的磷灰石颗粒。用这些材料成功修复了100例标准开颅手术中的骨缺损，美容效果令人满意。羟基磷灰石陶瓷的特点是具有优异的生物相容性和生物稳定性，并能形成骨融合。
