  • Title: Split Calvarial Graft and Titanium Mesh for Reconstruction of Post-Craniotomy Frontal Bone Defect.
    Author: Gema SM, Momeni M, Badri AA.
    Journal: Ethiop J Health Sci; 2018 Mar; 28(2):245-248. PubMed ID: 29983522.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The goal of cranioplasty is to achieve a lifelong, stable and structural reconstruction of the cranium covered by a healthy skin and scalp flap. We present two cases of large frontal bone defect following a accident. CASES: We describe the utilization of autogenous local split calvarial graft and titanium mesh for the reconstruction of the post trauma frontal bone defect. CONCLUSION: Cranioplasty using split calvarial bone grafting for restoring large cranial defects resulting from a trauma is a useful technique, and allows the surgeon to reconstruct a moderate to large cranial defect without rifting the inner cortical plate.
