Porous acrylic cement for the correction of craniofacial deformities and repair of defects, animal experimentation and two years of clinical application

A recently developed self-curing porous acrylic bone cement promises a valuable improvement in craniofacial reconstruction. In situ curing and the open sponge-like porosity are advantageous for good contour reconstruction and fixation to the underlying bone. To date 12 selected patients with a varie...

Zusammenfassung:A recently developed self-curing porous acrylic bone cement promises a valuable improvement in craniofacial reconstruction. In situ curing and the open sponge-like porosity are advantageous for good contour reconstruction and fixation to the underlying bone. To date 12 selected patients with a variety of craniofacial deformities have been operated on. The preliminary results of clinical work are presented.
