    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Biomaterials Engineering
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Skull defects present reconstructive challenges.
    • Preformed metal plates and simple wiring are common repair methods.
    • Limitations exist with current techniques, especially when materials are unavailable or wiring is insufficient.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate the use of titanium strips for repairing skull defects.
    • To present an alternative technique for cranial reconstruction.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized titanium strips for skull defect repair.
    • Employed a technique that avoids dissection of the dura mater.

    Main Results:

    • The titanium strip technique is simple to perform.

  • It obviates the need for dural dissection, reducing surgical complexity.
  • Offers greater resistance to further impact injury compared to inlay techniques.

    • Conclusions:

    • Titanium strips provide an effective and robust method for skull defect repair.
    • This technique is advantageous when standard materials are not available or suitable.
    • The method enhances patient safety by improving resistance to trauma.
