Application of shaping titanium mesh by multi-point forming technique in skull repairing / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To select materials with high quality and safety and evaluate the clinical value of multi-point forming technique in skull repairing. Methods 161 patients suffered from skull defect had been cured in our hospital, within them 43 patients were treated with multi-point forming technique in titanium mesh shaping, 19 patients with traditional handwork shaping, 99 patients with bone-like concrete (acrylate). The following aspects were analyzed and compared neurosurgeons' shaping workload before operations, operative time, approving scale on shaping and complications after operation. Results Repairing skull by titanium mesh with the technique of multipoint shaping significantly shortened the average operative time to (30 ?6) min, compared with acrylate group (70?18 min) and titanium mesh traditional handwork shaping group (50?11 min) (P
