Abstract: Skull bone realignment and fixation using glue is a simple, safe, and inexpensive method. The operative procedure was not prolonged. Good cosmetic appearance and realignment and fusion of the bone flap were achieved. Further neuroimaging methods are not prohibited. Glue is suitable for the growing skull of children. Glue is also suitable in compound depressed fractures of the skull with possibility of infection.

“…The third study described a novel technique using glue for the fixation of skull flaps following craniotomy. [ 19 ] Among the 24 paitients undergoing surgery were 2 patients who had had previous decompressive craniotomies for MMCAI. No other detail was provided for the two patients with MMCAI.…”

“…Cyanoacrylate has been used as a tissue adhesive for multiple decades, and previous studies have found cyanoacrylate to show satisfactory outcomes, with advantages including a shortened time required for healing, a somewhat lower cost, and aesthetically favorable outcomes [5,12]. In addition to its use for skin sutures, cyanoacrylate is used in various other fields including tympanoplasty, cranial bone flaps, fistula of the meningeal artery, and maxillo-facial complex fractures [6,8,13]. Previous studies have described successful procedures yielding rapid and rigid fixation using cyanoacrylate, with no complications.…”

“…Ideal adhesives could either be biologically inert or guide the healing response as with a tissue engineering approach [53]: the same biomechanical design principles apply to minimizing stress concentrations for tissue engineered biomaterials at interfaces between soft and hard tissues. Current adhesive approaches to orthopedic repair primarily use bone cements (e.g., [54]), cyanoacrylate- [55, 56, 57, 58, 59] or methacrylate-based chemistries [60, 61, 62, 63], which may be appropriate for fracture repair but are significantly more stiff than desirable for tendon-to-bone repair. Furthermore, biocompatibility is limited unless all free acrylate moieties are consumed.…”
