title: Combined use of titanium mesh and biocompatible osteoconductive polymer in the treatment of full thickness calvarial defects.
abstract: Restoration of bony defects is a common problem in craniofacial surgery. This article describes a versatile approach using a combination of titanium micromesh or midimesh and biocompatible osteoconductive polymer to restore calvarial bone loss.
