Patient-Specific Polyetheretherketone Implants for Repair of Craniofacial Defects

Abstract

Use of patient-specific PEEK implants is a good alternative for alloplastic cranioplasty. It is associated with low morbidity as reported in our series, with additional advantages including strength, stiffness, durability, and inertness. It would be beneficial to assess the longer-term outcomes; however, it appears at first glance that PEEK implants show great promise in calvarial reconstruction.
