CustomBone Service Resistance to Post-Operative Infections in Paediatric Population
Custombone+pediatrico

We would like to inform you about CustomBone Service Resistance to Post-Operative Infections in Paediatric Population In paediatric population (infant and children, 0-7 yrs), the skull is growing and the bony contour is dynamic1. This places specific constraints on materials that can be used for cranial vault reconstruction, which should grow with the skull, be durable for a long period and have a high resistance to late infection. The autologous bone is the gold standard in this population, even if resorption risk of autologous bone ranges between 20-50% 1. When autologous bone is not available osteointegrative solutions as CustomBone Service are preferred.This is supported by a number of clinical evidences and publications reporting low post-operative infection rate, very good osteointegrative properties, restoration of the normal intracranial physiology and excellent cosmetic outcomes2,3,4,5,6 (Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3).
