Abstract:
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a versatile material and is used increasingly for the correction of facial deformity. We have used bespoke implants with an interlocking mechanism to add stability and to facilitate ease of insertion in areas with difficult access. The interlocking mechanism also reduces the need for fixation to segments that are difficult to access.
