AUTOGENEIC SKULL BONE-GRAFTS TO RECONSTRUCT LARGE OR COMPLEX SKULL DEFECTS IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS NEUROSURGERY Edwards, M. S., Ousterhout, D. K. 1987; 20 (2): 273-280

Abstract

Autogeneic split or free skull bone grafts harvested at the time of operation were used to repair large or complex skull defects in 19 children; in 2 children, autogeneic fresh rib grafts were also used. Follow-up examinations for periods of 1 and 7 years showed that the use of autogeneic grafts is superior to the use of materials such as acrylic or metals for cranioplasty in children.
