  • Title: Repair of major cranio-orbital defects with an elastomer-coated mesh and autogenous bone paste.
    Author: Habal MB, Leake DL, Maniscalco JE, Kim J.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1978 Mar; 61(3):394-404. PubMed ID: 146881.
    Abstract:
    We present a method for repairing defects in the craniofacial region in which an elastomer-coated mesh is used as a template with bone paste. The method was developed by animal experimentation first, and then successfully used in the maxillofacial and mandibular regions. We have used this method to repair 16 craniofacial defects with satisfactory results, and complications have been kept to a minimum.
