Conceptual design of growth-adaptive calcium phosphate cement implants for large paediatric cranial defects
The presented approach demonstrates the technical feasibility of a modular, growth-adaptive CPC-based cranial implant and establishes a validated design and manufacturing framework. This work provides a fundamental basis for future biomechanical, biological, and clinical investigations aimed at advancing growth-adaptive implants for paediatric cranial reconstruction.
