title: Cranioplasty with pre-formed methyl methacrylate onlay plates.
abstract: The available manufactured plates for cranioplasty of large skull defects are not always satisfactory. Recently we have used preformed methyl methacrylate plates, in combination with Proplast. This plate prepared adjusted and sterilized before the operation is both cosmetically and mechanically satisfactory.
