Synthetic and natural biomaterials are a promising alternative for the treatment of critical-sized bone defects. Several parameters such as their porosity, surface, and mechanical properties are extensively pointed out as key points to recapitulate the bone microenvironment. Many biomaterials with this pursuit are employed to provide a matrix, which can supply the specific environment and architecture for an adequate bone growth. Nevertheless, some queries remain unanswered. This review discusses the recent advances achieved by some synthetic and natural biomaterials to mimic the native structure of bone and the manufacturing technology applied to obtain biomaterial candidates. The focus of this review is placed in the recent advances in the development of biomaterial-based therapy for bone defects in different types of bone. In this context, this review gives an overview of the potentialities of synthetic and natural biomaterials: polyurethanes, polyesters, hyaluronic acid, collagen, titanium, and silica as successful candidates for the treatment of bone defects.

“…Cranioplasty is the repair of cranial defects of any size, from holes to larger defects, and there is evidence of cranioplasty dating back several millennia. Incans used gold to fill in trephination sites around 3000 BC, and the first successful xenoplastic bone graft cranioplasty was reported in 1668 . Cranioplasty has evolved significantly over the past several centuries, and today the ideal reconstruction would 1) reestablish normal neurocranial anatomical boundaries, 2) provide durable, long‐lasting reconstruction, and 3) optimally reconstitute or support overlying soft tissues to give the best possible aesthetic outcome …”

“…Cranioplasty success relies in part on defect size, location, and patient comorbidities, but it also relies on the reconstructive method . The optimal material for cranioplasty is the one that is inexpensive and readily available, biocompatible, non‐thermoconducive, radio‐lucent, and light and malleable yet strong enough to withstand pressure overtime . Unfortunately, no single material perfectly fits these criteria to be a surgically and aesthetically desirable implant.…”

“…Unfortunately, no single material perfectly fits these criteria to be a surgically and aesthetically desirable implant. The gold‐standard material for cranioplasty has been autologous bone, however, this adds donor site morbidity and is susceptible to bone resorption over time . Furthermore, recreation of the natural contour of the skull can be difficult with autologous sources, and there may be insufficient volume of autologous bone for reconstruction of larger defects.…”

Objectives To evaluate the role of lipotransfer in progressive scalp thinning following titanium mesh cranioplasty. Methods Retrospective review of single surgeon, single tertiary referral experience of all patients who underwent mesh cranioplasty. Patient demographics, prior radiotherapy, frequency and timing of scalp thinning, and treatment course data were obtained. Results A total of 144 patients were included, 77 male and 67 female with mean ages 58.2 and 54.8, respectively. One hundred four patients (72%) developed mesh exposure or impending exposure requiring reconstruction. Fifty‐six patients (54%) with scalp thinning were treated with lipotransfer, 40 of which were salvaged and the remainder of these patients definitively managed with cranioplasty and reconstruction. Prior radiotherapy was found to be associated with higher rates of mesh exposure (P = .0028), but not predictive of response to lipotransfer. Conclusion Lipotransfer is a useful technique in managing moderate scalp thinning following mesh cranioplasty. Mesh exposure or severe thinning require definitive cranioplasty and reconstruction.
