The Use of Prefabricated 3D Printed PEEK Implants for Repair of Skull Defects

Abstract
Background: Skull defects may occur following trauma, infection, tumor invasion and neurosurgical procedures like decompressive craniectomy. Large defects should be recon-structed for brain protection and normalization of cerebral hemodynamics. Aim of Study: To evaluate the use of prefabricated cus-tomized 3D printed implants for cranioplasty of skull defects >4cm in diameter. Patients and Methods...
