The operative treatment of craniosynostosis using bone plate and screw fixation (titanium micro system).
Two cases of craniosynostosis treated with the new titanium micro system for the skeletal fixation are described. Mechanical and physical characteristics of the system (biocompatibility, high strength, malleability, possibility of adequate stabilization) are discussed. Aesthetic and functional outcomes are evaluated.
