Temporal hollowing is a common complication of surgical dissection in the temporal region. As it is a serious cosmetic problem, the need for reconstruction is increasing. Advances in medical imaging, computer software, 3-dimensional printing technology, and biochemistry have enabled surgeons to use patient-specific implants for correction of craniofacial deformities. Titanium, polymethylmethacrylate, and polyetheretherketone are representative materials of the alloplastic implant. In this article, the authors report the first case of temporal hollowing augmentation using a polyetheretherketone patient-specific implant.
颞部凹陷是颞区手术解剖常见的并发症。由于它是一个严重的美容问题，重建的需求日益增加。医学成像、计算机软件、三维打印技术和生物化学的进步使外科医生能够使用定制植入物来矫正颅面畸形。钛、聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯和聚醚醚酮是异体植入物的代表性材料。在本文中，作者报告了首例使用聚醚醚酮定制植入物进行颞部凹陷填充的病例。
