Cranial autologous bone flap resorption after a cranioplasty: A case report.

Conclusion: This case described an abnormal accelerated resorption of an autologous bone flap cranioplasty inserted after 3 months. Thus, to avoid bone flap resorption, an as early as possibly strategy may prevent this. Still, the exact mechanisms underlying bone resorption are poorly understood. PMID: 29629228 [PubMed]
