METHOD FOR PERFORMING SINGLE-STAGE CRANIOPLASTY RECONSTRUCTION WITH A CLEAR CUSTOM CRANIAL IMPLANT

摘要

A method for single-stage cranioplasty reconstruction includes prefabricating a clear craniofacial implant, creating a cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect, positioning the clear craniofacial implant over the cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect, tracing cut lines on the clear craniofacial implant as it lies over the cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect, cutting the prefabricated clear custom craniofacial implant along the hand-marked lines for optimal fit of the clear implant within the cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect, and attaching the final clear craniofacial implant to the cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect with standard fixation methods of today.
