    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Bi-cortical calvarial bone loss is a very frequent issue for neurosurgery and craniofacial surgery. Several techniques can be used to reconstruct the skull, with variable difficulty and costs. The purpose of our study was to assess the use of Hydroset® osteoconductive cement for large size bicortical cranioplasties. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three patients presented with extensive loss of calvarial bone bi-cortical substance (>25 cm(2)), between 2010 and 2012. The 3 patients underwent cranioplasty with Hydroset® osteoconductive cement and titanium mesh. RESULTS: The esthetic results were very satisfactory, especially for the skull dome, with a completely invisible and non-palpable cement/native skull junction. Scalp adherence to the cement was natural with maintenance of skin mobility. DISCUSSION: Bicortical calvarial bone reconstruction with Hydroset® cement is technically easy to perform, gives very good results, with an uneventful outcome, and induces lower costs.
