Research

Mayo Clinic researchers have examined implant materials, surgical outcomes and complications, including titanium hardware exposure. This type of research supports careful preoperative planning, individualized material selection and close follow-up after surgery.

Researchers at Mayo also have studied cranioplasty materials in both adults and children. These studies include adult alloplastic cranioplasty reconstruction and pediatric cranioplasty outcomes, including comparisons of bone and implant materials.
