AUTOGRAFTS

01

• using the patient's own bone, often harvested from another part of the body, such as the hip or the rib.
• are considered biocompatible, reducing the risk of rejection.

MENU

02

ALLOGRAFTS

• donated human bone tissue IS used.
• are processed and sterilized to minimize the risk of rejection or infection

MENU

03

SYNTHETIC MATERIALS

• PMMA(Polymethylmethacrylate): This is a type of plastic that can be molded into the desired shape during surgery.
• Titanium: Titanium plates or mesh can be used to replace a portion of the skull.
• Hydroxyapatite: This is a mineral component of natural bone and can be used as a synthetic material for cranioplasty.

custom implants

• Advances in technology, including 3D printing, allow for the creation of custom implants tailored to the patient's specific anatomy.
• These implants can be made from various materials, including titanium and polymers.
