Summary

This study tests a new way to repair skull defects using 3D-printed plastic (PEEK) implants. Forty people needing skull bone replacement will receive these custom implants. The goal is to check if the implants are safe and work well, and to compare complication rates with older methods like using the patient's own bone or other materials.
