First seen Jan 22, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study tests whether 3D-printed plastic (PEEK) implants are safe and work well for people needing skull bone replacement. Forty patients will receive the custom-made implant, and researchers will track complications and compare them to older methods like using the patient's own bone or other plastics. The goal is to see if this new approach is a reliable option for repairing skull defects.
