Does Difference in the Storage Method of Bone Flaps After Decompressive Craniectomy Affect the Incidence of Surgical Site Infection After Cranioplasty? Comparison Between Subcutaneous Pocket and Cryopreservation

Abstract

SP and CP may be equally efficacious for storage of bone flaps of non-TBI etiology; however, SP may be the storage method of choice for TBI. It remains to be verified in a prospective fashion whether SP is truly the better method of storing bone flaps in TBI.
