늑골 골편 이식에 의한 두개 성형술의 치험례 = A Report of Reconstruction of Cranial Defect by Use of Split-Rib Grafts

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In patien suffered from cranial defect,the most satisfactory form of cranioplasty has been achieved with autogenous grafts.
Various bones have been used for the closure of cranial defects.
The most popular autogenous bones are ileum,rib,tibia and adjacent cranium.The reason why we used the split-rib grafts is that it has the advantages of easy availablity,rapid regeneration for subsequent repeated use,ready application in especially children without possibility of injury to growing epithyses.While,other bones such as ileum and tibia have disavantage of possible injury to growth center and risk of fracture when tibial osteoperiosteal grafts are used.
The patient who had been suffered from defects of scalp and cranium due to electric burn was received autogenous split-rib grafts for bony protection of brain and cranial contour restoration,which scalp defect was reconstructed by use of retation flap from the other side.
Thereatfter,the postoperative complication such as infection or extrusion is not seen until now.
