A new method of cranioplasty. Technical note.
A new method of cranioplasty is described. The skull defect is exposed, and an impression is taken which is used for the construction of a plaster of Paris model of the defect. Methyl methacrylate is molded to the model and thus an accurate reproduction of the skull defect is produced. The technique has the main advantage of good cosmetic appearance and strength.
