Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical progression of surgical techniques to cover skull defects, introducing a number of innovative methods. The author begins by detailing traditional methods, such as the use of bone fragments, detached or grafted from elsewhere on the patient's body. The book then presents more advanced techniques which preserve the bone fragments' viability by attaching them to muscle tissue before reinserting onto the skull, leading to a more seamless healing process. For defects that require more extensive coverage, the author details not only the methods of using inert materials such as metal plates and celluloid but also how organic materials such as bone ash, sterilized and implanted into the defect site, can stimulate the growth of new bone to cover the gap. This thorough exploration of skull repair techniques will be of great interest to surgeons, medical practitioners, and historians of medicine alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
