Cranial bone flap fixation with microplates and screws: a new application technique. Technical note.
A new technique of microplates/screws application for bone flap refixation is described. The microplates are fitted into a shaped bone groove in such a way that the hardware is flush with the edges of the groove thus avoiding definite palpable scalp prominence of the skin under hairless portions of the scalp.
