OBJECTIVE: This study compared the complications and symmetry outcomes between 3-dimensionally printed titanium implants and premolded titanium mesh in patients with extensive calvarial bone defects.
METHODS: This retrospective analysis included patients with calvarial defects >50 cm2 undergoing cranioplasty who received either a 3-dimensionally printed titanium implant manufactured by selective laser melting techniques (N = 12) or a premolded titanium mesh customized onto a 3-dimensionally printed skull template (N = 23). Complications including intracranial infection, hardware extrusion, wound dehiscence, and cerebrospinal fluid leaks were investigated. Predictive factors affecting complications were investigated to identify the odds ratios in univariate and multivariate analyses. The symmetry was assessed by calculating the root mean square deviation, which showed the morphological deviation of the selected area compared with the mirrored image of the contralateral region.
RESULTS: The overall complication rate was 26.1% (6/23 patients) in the premolded titanium group and 16.7% (2/12 patients) in the 3-dimensionally printed group. The reoperation rates did not differ significantly between the 2 groups (3-dimensionally printed group, 16.7%, versus premolded group, 21.7%). In multivariate analysis, only the number of previous cranial operation was significantly associated with the complication rate (odds ratio, 2.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.037-5.649; P = 0.041). The mean ± SD of the root mean square deviation was significantly smaller in the 3-dimensionally printed group (2.58 ± 0.93 versus 4.82 ± 1.31 mm, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: The 3-dimensionally printed titanium implant manufactured by the selective laser melting technique showed comparable stability and improved symmetry outcomes compared with the conventional titanium mesh in the reconstruction of extensive calvarial defects.
