Hydroxyapatite cranioplasty: a retrospective evaluation of osteointegration in 17 cases
2018
Background
Cranial reconstruction with autologous bone is still the gold standard although several biomaterials are available to re-establish the integrity of the cranial vault. Due to their biological and morphological characteristics, hydroxyapatite implants show promising results in small clinical cohort studies, especially within the paediatric population. Its biocompatibility and osteoconductivity should allow the formation of osseous bridging at the skull-prosthesis interface.
