Abstract
A method for performing a cranioplasty includes the steps of prefabricating a sonolucent craniofacial implant based upon information generated by preoperative scans, creating a cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect, and attaching the craniofacial implant to the cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect. The craniofacial implant is composed of a material that is sonolucent and exhibits attenuation of less than 6 dB/cm.
Claims9
A method for performing a cranioplasty, comprising:
- creating a cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect;
- positioning a clear craniofacial implant over the cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect;
- defining a boundary of the cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect on the clear craniofacial implant;
- and
- shaping the clear craniofacial implant based upon the boundary of the cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect defined on the clear craniofacial implant for optimal fit of the craniofacial implant along the cranial, craniofacial, and/or facial defect.
