Abstract

This article presents a multi-centre study cohort study on 50 patients with cranial defects of multiple etiologies (trauma, decompression, tumour surgery, etc.) operated in 10 hospitals. In all patients the neurosurgeon repaired the cranial defect using 3D printed and CNC milling and drilling grafts or Patient Specific Implants, from two world known manufacturers, custom made in accordance with the data obtained from the patient’s 3D CT reconstruction.
