However, no matter what causes the skull defect, neurosurgery generally recommends that the skull should be repaired in time if the diameter of the defect exceeds 3 cm. Of course, skull repair surgery is also a routine operation in neurosurgery, with mature technology and very safe operation. The choice of repair materials is very important in skull repair surgery. At present, there are two kinds of skull repair materials commonly used in clinic, one is the relatively traditional titanium mesh material, and the other is the emerging polymer peek material in recent years.
Some patients asked which is suitable for skull repair, peek or titanium alloy? It should be said that these two materials are all repair materials approved by the National Health and Family Planning Commission that meet the standards of human implantation. But there are still some differences in actual clinical application. It is found that peek material has better performance and may be more suitable for skull repair. Of course, titanium alloy titanium mesh materials have made progress compared with those before. However, there are still some limitations and deficiencies, such as possible postoperative infection, sensitivity and discomfort to the external cold and hot environment, possible scalp wear, material exposure and so on. Peek material has the same performance as human skull in all aspects, which can avoid the above problems well and is a more excellent skull repair material.
At present, Mu Cangshan, the chief physician team of Traumatic Neurosurgery in Aviation General Hospital, is widely using this advanced peek as a skull repair material. Director Mu led the team to continuously improve and innovate the technology, optimize the material design, innovatively introduce the concept of cosmetic surgery, and comprehensively carry out peek skull repair and plastic surgery, which has achieved good clinical results and won wide acclaim and praise.
The above is the answer about which is suitable for skull repair: peek or titanium alloy. I hope it will help everyone. If in doubt, you can also call the registration hotline: 0 10-58554765.
