ELIMINATION OF CODE DEFECTS DURING THE SKULL BY USING MATERIALS WITH MEMORY OF THE FORM
Abstract
Purpose. Improving the efficiency of surgical elimination of bone marrow bone defects by developing new medical technologies using materials with shape memory. Materials and methods. An operative elimination of the defects of the cranial vault of a traumatic genesis or caused by resection or decompression trepanation in 20 patients, persons of both sexes aged from 17 to 65 years was performed. The dimensions of the defects were from 30 to 60 cm2. For these purposes, they used low-profile mesh implants based on titanium nickelide. Lamellar titanium nickelide implants with permeable porosity were used as a stiffening rib. Results. In all cases, satisfactory cosmetic and functional results were obtained. Radiographically diagnosed complete restoration of the shape of the skull, implant material was determined in the form of moderate darkening mainly in the overlap zone of the former defect. Conclusion. High-performance net nickel titanium with high efficiency can be used to replace bone defects in the cranial vault of any volume, configuration and localization.
