What is 72957 Rethinking reconstructive strategies for complex cranial defects: A 10 year review of cranioplasty outcomes about?

ABSTRACT IMPACT: Up to 33% of patients of patients who undergo reconstruction have hostile defects with coexisting soft tissue and osseous defects due to prior radiation, prior failed cranioplasty or concurrent infections we seek to identify optimal strategies for these patients based on the experience of a southeastern tertiary referral center. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Scalp and calvarial defects in patients may result from a number of etiologies including trauma, burns, tumor resections, infections, osteoradionecrosis, or congenital lesions. Our objective was to retrospectively evaluate the use of alloplastic reconstruction alongside autologous reconstruction for high risk cranial defects. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: An IRB approved retrospective review of patients who underwent cranioplasty of a hostile site at a Southeastern tertiary referal center between January 2008 and December 2018 was performed. The patients were stratified into three groups based on the type of implant used: autogenous (bone), alloplastic (PEEK, Titanium, PMMA), or mixed (combination of both types of graft). The primary outcome metric was a complication in the year following cranioplasty, identified by flap or bo
