Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical application of titanium mesh for cranioplasty of large-area skull defect with CAD/ (Computer aided design/manufacture) CAM non-model-multi-spot shaping technique. Methods Eighty-five patients suffered from large-area skull defect were treated by CAD/CAM non-model-multi-spot shaping technique from July 2007 to February 2009. A retrospective analysis of clinical data on these patients was performed. Results The average time for cranioplasty was (13.00 ± 2.56) min, and the postoperative improvement rate of patients with skull defects syndrome was 85% without major complications. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the skull showed physiological original shape recovery. The post-operative satisfaction rate of patients reached 100%.Conclusion Cranioplasty of large-area skull defect with CAD/CAM non-model-multi-spot shaped titanium mesh enjoys short operative time, few postoperative complications and remarkably improved symptoms, and achieves perfect combination of science and aesthetics, which worths widely used in clinic.
