Scopri l'articolo che illustra l'osteointegrazione precoce con impianti personalizzati in idrossiapatite

📊 Study Design

• Type: Prospective, single-centre study
• Patients: 14 patients (13 adults, 1 paediatric)
• Clinical Setting: Tumor-related cranial bone resection followed by one-step reconstruction
• Material: Custom-made hydroxyapatite cranial implants
• Follow-Up Assessments: 6 weeks and 3 months
• Patient-Reported Outcomes: FACE-Q satisfaction questionnaire

🔍 Key Findings

• Mean implant-edge osteointegration reached 72.2% at 6 weeks
• Osteointegration increased to 82.6% at 3 months
• Patients reported high satisfaction scores following reconstruction
• The one-step surgical approach was reported as safe and effective, particularly in the management of large cranial bone defects

🧩 Clinical Perspective

Custom-made HA implants may represent a reconstructive option when:

• Large cranial defects require anatomical precision
• Immediate reconstruction following tumor resection is planned
• Long-term biological integration is considered relevant for clinical outcomes
• Patient-reported outcomes are included in treatment evaluation
