[Use of polymers in the treatment of skull and brain traumas]

After preliminary experiments, over a period of the recent 10 years there were repaired skull bone defects in 116 patients using Styracryl, AKR-100, AKR-15 and Protacryl. The acrylic plastics polymerize at relatively low temperature, feature good mouldability, are readily sterilizable and result in no inflammatory lesions in the surrounding tissues. Good cosmetic results are obtained.
