How about repairing titanium alloy on skull? The skull is hard and elastic, which supports and protects our brain and can resist the external invasion of the brain. If the skull is defective and the scalp is sunken, it looks ugly, not to mention scary, and the patient's psychology will be hit hard. Moreover, skull defect can also induce a series of skull defect syndrome, which will have a great impact on the body. & gt& gt& gt online consultation

That is to say, whether from the perspective of aesthetics or safety, skull repair surgery should be carried out in time when skull defects appear. Skull repair is an ancient and classic operation in neurosurgery. After a long period of development, the technology has become more and more mature, and the application of materials has also made greater progress.

How about repairing titanium alloy on skull? At present, titanium alloys are widely used in many hospitals. Compared with early plexiglass, bone cement and other materials, titanium alloy has made obvious progress. However, after a lot of clinical practice, there are still some problems in repairing skull with titanium alloy. Such as postoperative complications, infection, rejection, cutting pain and material exposure, affecting CT magnetic resonance examination, sensitivity and discomfort to external cold and hot environment and so on. Based on these shortcomings of titanium alloy materials, we do not recommend using titanium alloy materials for skull repair at present.

In order to make patients recover better, Mu Cangshan, director of neurosurgery department of traumatic cerebrovascular disease in Aviation General Hospital of China Medical University, has been leading the team to explore and study, and successfully used new PEEK materials for skull repair surgery, and the postoperative effect is very good.

PEEK material is a very safe and advanced polymer material with excellent performance, and can also be personalized for three-dimensional shaping. Director Mu Cangshan also constantly carries out material optimization design and technical transformation and innovation, and also integrates the concept of cosmetic surgery in the operation, making the postoperative effect more natural and beautiful.
