Correction of Skull Defects Using Hydroxyapatite Cement (HAC) – Evidence Derived from Animal Experiments and Clinical Experience

摘要

The development of satisfactory cranioplasty material and technique has been a continuing bio-engineering challenge. Cranial defects resulting from trauma, tumour or infection are most frequently reconstructed with nonviable alloplastic materials. At present, all synthetic or biological materials in the use for human cranioplasty are more or less ideal.
