A new technique of elevation of depressed skull fracture in infants without surgical incision has been advocated by the author. It consists of making percutaneously a little burr hole in the thin skull and elevating the depressed bone area with a special instrument serving both as perforator and elevator. The instrument and the technique are described in full. The infant leaves hospital the second day without complications. Five patients aged from six to twelve months were submitted to this new mode of treatment.
作者提倡一种无需手术切口提升婴儿凹陷性颅骨骨折的新技术。该技术包括在薄颅骨上经皮制作一个小钻孔,并使用一种兼具穿孔器和提升器功能的特殊器械提升凹陷的骨区域。文中详细描述了该器械和技术。婴儿第二天即可出院且无并发症。五名年龄在6至12个月的患儿接受了这种新的治疗方式。
