Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare the results of cranioplasty with CAD/CAM (computer aided design/manufactured) based Hydroxylapatite and Titanium implants in respect to infections, re-operations, antibiotic treatment or removal of the implant.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Comparison of the rate of local and/or systemic infections (acute/chronic) in both study arms within the first 6 months after operation. [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Comparison of the rate of re-operations with and without ex-plantation of the implant in both arms. [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Comparison of post-operative computer tomography (CT) (native and bone 5 mm) within 48 h in respect to bleeding, dislocation and further complications after cranioplasty in both arms. [ Time Frame: 48 hours post-operative ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Comparison of health-related quality of life after cranioplasty in both arms using the SF36-questionnaire. [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Comparison between both groups referring to cosmetic result, period of hospitalization, costs, intra-operative features. [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Comparison of temperature sensitivity (cold/heat) six months after implantation in both groups. [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Description of osteointegration with CT and bone scan six months post-operative in both groups [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

|
Active Comparator: Titanium
Titanium implant for cranioplasty. Titanium implants are used since 10 years in Germany because of their high biocompatibility and accuracy of fit.
|
Device: Titanium implant (CranioConstruct™)
One to three weeks before operation the skull defect is well defined using Computer tomography. Based on these results the Titanium implant is ordered.
Other Name: CranioConstruct™
|
|
Experimental: Hydroxylapatite
Hydroxylapatite (CustomBone) implant Hydroxylapatite implants are used since about 3 years in Germany. As this material is very similar to human bone structure an improved osteointegration has been observed.
|
Device: Hydroxylapatite (CustomBone)
Six to eight weeks before operation the skull defect is well defined using Computer tomography. Based on these results the Hydroxylapatite implant is ordered.
Other Name: CustomBone
|
Detailed Description:
Both implant materials for cranioplasty, Hydroxylapatite and Titanium, are CE certified medical devices used in common practices. This study is intended to get prospective data in addition to the empirical and retrospective existing ones to enable the decision on which implant material should be preferably employed in future.
