Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Area of Science:

Craniofacial surgery
Orthopedic surgery
Plastic surgery

Background:

Autologous bone grafts are the gold standard for calvarial reconstruction.
Traditional graft sources include rib, iliac crest, and cranial bone.
The use of mandibular outer cortex bone grafts for calvarial defects is underreported.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of mandibular outer cortex bone grafts in calvarial defect reconstruction.
To assess the aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction with this reconstructive technique.

Main Methods:

A retrospective study of 13 patients undergoing cranioplasty between October 2004 and July 2016.
Mandibular outer cortex bone grafts were used for calvarial defect reconstruction.
Patients were followed up for a minimum of 6 months post-surgery.

Main Results:

The majority of patients reported satisfaction with the reconstructive results.
The study indicates positive patient outcomes regarding the aesthetic reconstruction.

Conclusions:

Mandibular outer cortex bone grafts can yield excellent aesthetic results in specific cranioplasty cases.
This technique represents a viable option for selected patients requiring calvarial reconstruction.
