Abstract:
Craniotomy repair with newly designed titanium miniplates is described. The miniplates, made of malleable titanium, include burr hole covers and kerf covers for use over the craniotomy line. The plates are easily contoured by hand and have been successfully placed in 39 cases with no incidence of infection and no cosmetic problems.
