Kranioplastik är ett kirurgiskt ingrepp där en del av skallen rekonstrueras på grund av estetiska eller medicinska skäl. I de flesta av fallen är kranioplastiken gjord med patientens egna skallben som har sparats från ett tidigare kirurgiskt ingrepp men om skallbenet saknas på grund av en defekt eller annan anledning så behövs ett implantat. Metoden för att designa implantatet har tidigare beståttCranioplasty is surgical repair of a skull bone defect due to a previous surgery or injury. Cranioplasty is most often performed with autologous bone flap, i.e the patient's own saved bone from previous surgery if this is available. If autologous bone is not available then custom procedure is to manually mould an implant using bone cement from the plastic polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Manual
