title: [Total calvarial reconstruction for sagittal synostosis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the technique of total calvaria reconstruction for sagittal synostosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  11 children with sagittal synostosis were treated. The David II procedure was used to reconstruct the calvarial gap in 6 cases; Osteotomies with reversal change was performed on 2 cases; Plum-plasty of the calvaria was performed on 3 cases.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The 11 cases were cured with satisfactory head shape.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The David II procedure is applicable for patient of 1 approximately 3 months. The technique of floating skull flap plasty and plum-plasty of the calvaria can be performed on patients older than 3 months.
