“…Today, the materials most commonly used fall into four groups: autografts, allografts, xenografts and alloplastic materials (Gladstone et al, 1995;Pompili et al, 1998;Gosain and Persing, 1999).…”

“…These were followed by more than a dozen other commercial CPC formulations (Table 2). Recently, efforts towards composites of hydrogels and bone substitutes (Chan et al, 2002;Chazono et al, 2004;Dupraz et al, 1998;Grimandi et al, 1998;Ito, 1991;Maruyama et al, 1995;Momota et al, 2002;Pompili et al, 1998) have been intensified and several products have been launched (Table 3). These efforts are expressed by a rapid increase of the number of publications.…”

In the last 15 years, a large number of commercial ceramicbased cements and putties have been introduced as bone graft substitutes. As a result, large efforts have been made to improve our understanding of the specific properties of these materials, such as injectability, cohesion, setting time (for cements), and in vivo properties. The aim of this manuscript is to summarize our present knowledge in the field. Instead of just looking at scientific aspects, industrial needs are also considered, including mixing and delivery, sterilization, and shelf-life.

“…We have also successfully used the bone cement as an onlay graft over intact bone in order to eliminate asymmetry. Additionally, an Italian group [11] recently published a similar cranioplasty technique using a hydroxyapatitederived material called Osprogel (Tech-Medical S.R.L., Bologna, Italy). Although clinical experience is still nascent with hydroxyapatite, we hope future modifications will further refine our technique.…”

Introduction: Current cranioplasty materials include autologous or homologous bone grafts, wire mesh and methyl methacrylate, either alone or in combination. However, each material has its own unique disadvantages. Although hydroxyapatite has been used extensively in other specialties as a bone substitute, the coralline form has rarely been used to repair cranial bone defects. Coralline hydroxyapatite, similar to that found in bone, provides a matrix on which living tissue can form and grow. Because it is an ideal bioimplant, a method of cranioplasty using coralline hydroxyapatite was employed. Methods: The hydroxyapatite granules are mixed with Avitene and autologous blood to form a paste which can be countoured as needed. Results: Over the past few years, we have used hydroxyapatite either alone or in combination with tantalum mesh in 19 pediatric patients for a variety of conditions. The cosmetic results were good to excellent. Furthermore, postoperative CT scans have documented bony substitution of the hydroxyapatite granules. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 43 months with a mean of 26 months. Conclusion: In neurosurgical procedures when a bone substitute is needed, hydroxyapatite is an effective alternative to other currently available materials.

Cranioplasty performed with a new osteoconductive, osteoinducing hydroxyapatite-derived material

Abstract: In the near future, this technique may be refined to achieve good or excellent results either without the use of supporting material or with the use of individual, computer-designed 3-D prostheses.
