Warfare-related secondary anterior cranioplasty

Abstract: Background:Anterior cranial bone defects secondary to global war cranial defects pose a unique reconstructive challenge. The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of alloplastic reconstructions of cranial bone with titanium mesh and fat graft after warfare-related cranial trauma.Patients and Methods:Thirty-five patients at the plastic and reconstructive surgery ward of our hospital underwent anterior cranioplasty with titanium mesh with or without fat grafts from lower abdominal wall. Inclusion … Show more

“…However, defects of more than 8 cm in dimension at the posterior parieto-occipital junction may require repair almost entirely for the purpose of brain protection. [2] The indications for cranioplasty include the social stigma due to disfigurement, mechanical vulnerability, painful postsurgical cranial defects, and those defects which cannot be repaired by other surgical techniques. [3] There are two methods of cranial reconstruction, namely, osteoplastic reconstruction and other using alloplastic implants.…”

“…Autogenous bone, alloplastic materials including metals, heat-polymerizing acrylic, polyethylene, and silicone are usually used materials. [23] However, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a recently introduced material for cranioplasty which is a proved successful implant material in orthopedics as well. Titanium has been used recently in fabricating cranial prostheses.…”
