ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the surgical approaches, surgical timing and materials for cranial defect repair in children. Methods From the year 2002 to 2006, 4 children with cranial defect received cranial reconstruction using absorbable poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) material and hydroxyapatite. Results The 3-year follow-up showed that the cranial defect was successfully repaired using the absorbable material in 3 patients and failure of repair occurred in 1 patient. Conclusion Cranial defect in children can be effectively repaired using absorbable materials and hydroxyapatite without obviously affecting the skull development. This approach provides an important option for cranial defect repair in children.
