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...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Area of Science:

Medical Engineering
Surgical Innovation
Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

Craniosynostosis, a premature fusion of skull sutures, requires surgical intervention.
Traditional surgical approaches for craniosynostosis can be complex and carry risks.
Advancements in medical technology are exploring novel solutions for craniofacial reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current applications and status of three-dimensional (3D) printing in craniosynostosis surgery.
To assess the potential benefits and limitations of 3D printing in this surgical domain.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE.
Studies published between 2010 and 2020 focusing on 3D printing for craniosynostosis surgery were included.
A total of 15 relevant studies were selected for analysis.

Main Results:

Selected studies demonstrated novel 3D simulation and printing workflows.
Utilization of 3D printing for surgical simulation and patient-specific guides was evident.
Case reports highlighted prior experiences and outcomes with 3D printing in craniosynostosis procedures.

Conclusions:

Three-dimensional printing holds significant potential to enhance craniosynostosis surgery.
Benefits include streamlined planning, patient-specific guides, improved training, and better patient counseling.
The current literature is in the validation phase, necessitating larger studies and longer follow-up for broader implementation.
