title: Fabrication procedure for cranial prostheses.
abstract: A procedure for duplication of cranial bone flaps used in cranioplasty is described. This procedure overcomes the difficulties inherent in direct duplication of irregular-shaped bone flaps through primary replication of the flap in wax. The wax pattern is used to fabricate the definitive prosthesis.
