A new method of cranioplasty.
A new method of cranioplasty is described in which the skull defect is exposed and multiple angled holes through the outer cortical bone are made. Methyl methacrylate is molded into the defect continuous with the perforating holes. The major advantage of this technique is the resulting good cosmetic appearance, in addition to the strength and firmness of position it provides.
