At what age can a skull defect be repaired? Cranial repair is a common neurosurgical procedure to repair the skull in response to a traumatic brain injury resulting in a skull defect. Patients with cranial defects often have a heavy burden of thought such as insecurity, and can cause headaches, dizziness, fear of vibration and other syndromes. The longer the cranial defect, the higher the incidence of cranial defect syndrome and secondary brain damage. In order to restore the airtightness of the cranial cavity, keep the physiological intracranial pressure stable, and reduce the cranial defect syndrome. Cranial bone repair should be performed for cranial defects with a diameter of more than 3 centimeters, without muscle coverage and without contraindications. How old is the age of cranial defects? Nowadays, the artificial material used in major hospitals for cranial bone repair is titanium mesh, which is relatively inexpensive, while a few hospitals have used PEEK material, which is superior to titanium mesh, to do cranial bone repair surgery.PEEK material is an aromatic semipolymer with low density, insensitive to temperature, and high tissue stability, which enables it to be sterilized at high temperatures or under radiation without deformation. It is radiopaque and has no effect on CT and MRI results. In addition, the material is capable of being 3D printed or CAD/CAM’d to create cosmetically pleasing placements. What is the age at which the skull can be repaired with cranial repair surgery? In general, after 3 years of age, if there is a cranial defect, it is possible to repair the skull, after 3 years of age, cranial growth is relatively slow, clinical practice has found that the surgical risk of cranial repair during different periods of growth and development is positively correlated with the growth rate of the cranial bone, considering children’s cranial defect repair should be carried out after the age of 3 years old; moreover, three months after the injury is the period of rapid recovery of nerve function, early restoration of cranial cavity integrity can be The early restoration of the integrity of the cranial cavity can improve the development of brain tissue and promote the recovery of neurological function. How old is the age of cranial defect? At present, Director Zhu’s expert team, using PEEK material to do cranial bone repair surgery is experienced and skillful in surgical techniques, after surgery, patients can restore the shape of the skull, beautiful, and now become a more ideal artificial repair material. According to clinical feedback: cranial bone repair can be considered 3 months after the condition is stabilized.
