Comparison of different materials for skull defect repair
Zhang Hai-fang
Abstract：BACKGROUND:Currently,different methods materialsused for craniocerebral injury and skul defect repairhave their ownclinical efficacy and adverse reactions.
<br> OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical effectsof autologous bone, alograft bone, porous tricalcium phosphate and titanium meshforskul defects.
<br> METHODS:200 patients with skul defectswereselected, including 120 males and 80 females, agedfrom 18-76 years old, andthenwere alotted into fourgroups by random number table (n=50 per group), undergoing repairwith autologous bone, alograft bone, porous tricalcium phosphate and titanium mesh, respectively. The postoperative complications were compared among groups, and osseous healing propertieswere observed throughthefolow-up.
<br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The healing property of autologous bone, alograft bone and titanium mesh was significantly superior tothat ofporous tricalcium phosphate (P< 0.05),butthere were no significant differencesamorgthe autologous bone, alograft bone and titanium mesh groups. In addition, the incidence of complications of autologous bone and titanium mesh goup was significantly less than that of porous tricalcium phosphate and alograft bone groups(P< 0.05),and comparison betweenthe latter twogroups showed no significant difference. In conclusion, autologous bone andtitanium mesh for skul defectrepair have good biocompatibility, and can promote bone healing.
