3D Printed PEEK Implants for Cranioplasty
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
PEEK Cranioplasty: 3D printed PEEK skull implant
Study summary
This study is a non-randomised and single center study with patients needing an artificial skull bone eg cranioplasty. 40 patients will be implanted with in house manufactured polyether ether ketone (PEEK) implants using a fused filament fabrication 3D printer. The primary aim is to ascertain safety and feasibility of the procedure. The secondary aim is to compare complication rates with conventional methods such as autologous bone and polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA).
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Performed PEEK implants — At end of surgical procedure, up to 2 months after inclusion
Percentage of performed PEEK implants out of included patients. - Safety of PEEK implants — 1 year
Survival percentage of PEEK implants. Will be compared to historical PMMA and autologous bone implants.
