Abstract

Objective To investigate the approach and the therapeutic effect by using 3-D Titanic mesh of moulding to repair skull defect caused by depressed and splintered fracture of cranial bone.Methods Forty three patients were used 3-D Titanic mesh moulding in this study primary repairing skull defect.Results All incisions obtained healing by first intension.Patients were followed up for 6-12 months.Good symmetry of the skull was achieved after operation.Conclusion Designing the 3-D Titanic mesh in one stage operation guarantees excellent functional and cosmetic results for the patients with craniofacial deformity.
