Abstract:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Surgical correction of nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NSC) aims to restore cranial shape. Reossification of bone defects is paramount for the best aesthetic prognosis. However, the literature on the quantitative evaluation of bone defects after NSC surgery is scarce. This study aimed to quantify and analyze the surface area of bone defects after NSC surgery and establish a threshold value for predicting persistent defects.
