Calcium phosphate vs. autologous cranioplasty in a pediatric population
Alloplastic HA-βTCP (TricOs™) demonstrated a significantly longer survival time compared to autologous cranioplasties. The findings suggest that HA-βTCP (TricOs™) offers a superior alternative in reducing risk of implant failure, potentially addressing the challenges of bone flap resorption in a pediatric population. Additional studies are warranted to endorse these retrospective findings.
