Basic Concepts of Cranial Prothesis

A cranial prothesis is a medical device designed to replace or repair a portion of the skull. It is typically used in cases of severe head trauma, congenital defects, or tumor resection. Cranial prothesis can be made from a variety of materials, including titanium, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and hydroxyapatite.

Material	Properties
Titanium	Strong, lightweight, and biocompatible
PEEK	Flexible, durable, and resistant to infection
Hydroxyapatite	Bioactive, promotes bone growth

Type	Application
Reconstructive cranial prothesis	Replaces or repairs a missing or damaged portion of the skull
Protective cranial prothesis	Protects the brain from external trauma
Cosmetic cranial prothesis	Restores the patient's aesthetic appearance
