Outcome in patient-specific PEEK cranioplasty: A two-center cohort study of 40 implants

The best material choice for cranioplasty following craniectomy remains subject to discussion. Complication rates after cranioplasty tend to be high. Computer-assisted 3-dimensional modeling of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) was recently introduced for cranial reconstruction. The aim of this study was to evaluate patient- and surgery-related characteristics and risk factors that predispose patients to cranioplasty complications.
