3D Printed PEEK Implants for Cranioplasty
Sponsor: Skane University Hospital
Summary
This study is a non-randomised and single center study with patients needing an artificial skull bone eg cranioplasty. 40 patients will be implanted with in house manufactured polyether ether ketone (PEEK) implants using a fused filament fabrication 3D printer. The primary aim is to ascertain safety and feasibility of the procedure. The secondary aim is to compare complication rates with conventional methods such as autologous bone and polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA).
