When is the best time for cranial repair? In recent years, there has been a gradual increase in the occurrence of cranial defects, due to craniocerebral trauma or surgery. Therefore, cranial bone repair surgery is needed. It is not good to repair the skull too early or too late, so when is the better time for cranial bone repair? Generally speaking, after the symptomatic treatment of trauma or surgery resulting in cranial defects, it usually takes about three months to recover before cranial repair is performed. However, there are some contraindications to cranial repair surgery, such as intracranial infection, hydrocephalus, brain swelling, with these conditions, even after three months can not be operated on, the need for delayed cranial repair, delayed cranial repair can prevent the infection of the autologous or allograft implantation. Of course, in addition to timing, the repair material is also very critical. Currently, the new polyether ether ketone (PEEK) material is used in clinical practice. This humanoid bone material is a near-perfect cranial bone replacement material due to its excellent properties. Its elasticity, thermal insulation, hardness, stability and other properties are similar to the human skull, and can be fused with the human skull, and this material is a three-dimensional reconstruction, can be accurately matched to the defective area of the skull, to achieve good repair results. Warm tips: through the above introduction, we understand that the better time to repair the skull, I hope to help you, cranial defects patients should be treated early cranial bone repair good hospitals, I wish the patients an early recovery of health.
