Comparison of autologous and custom-made titanium cranioplasty following decompressive craniectomy for traumatic brain injury: A 7-year clinical experience

The timing of cranioplasty and the type of cranioplasty material may influence postoperative outcomes in patients with TBI. Titanium plates could be a preferable option for early cranioplasty if autologous bone cannot be used for reconstruction, whereas late cranioplasty appears to be associated with fewer complications overall. Further studies are needed to support these findings.
