PLASTICS OF DEFECTS OF THE BONES OF THE CRANIAL VAULT WITH A CARBON IMPLANT

Abstract

The study is based on the analysis of the results of surgical treatment of 67 patients aged 25 to 55 years, with the consequences of traumatic brain injury. Defects of the cranial vault bones are divided, depending on the size, into small, medium and large. Primary plastic surgery was performed in 3 patients, the rest at various times after the injury. A carbon implant of 2 types (contrasting, non-contrasting) was used as a plastic material. As a result of the treatment, good results were obtained in 52, satisfactory in 9 patients. Based on the results of the treatment, it was concluded that carbon implants are promising as a material for cranioplasty.
