How Does Diploic Space Thickness Change With Age?
Diploic thickness remains stable across the lifespan with slight sex-based differences. However, examination reveals that the density of the diploe increases over time, suggesting age-related changes in cancellous architecture. These findings highlight the importance of individual anatomical variations when harvesting autogenous calvarial grafts to optimize cranial reconstruction outcomes.
