Abstract

There is no standard procedure either for the design or the implantation of cranial implants. Also, there are no alloplastic cranial implants on the current market that are 100% biocompatible. The ideal material for all the heterologous cranioplasties has not been discovered yet [1]. Last, most of the state of the art is based on titanium screws fixation which has been associated with local inflammation, chronic infection and leaching of metal ions into local tissues after long-term skull implantation [2]. The aim of this work is to design and prototype a new concept that can be replicated in any area of the neurocranium, easy to attach without damage to the bones and has similar biomechanical properties to the bones that replace.
