Patient Specific PEEK Implants for Immediate Restoration of Temporal Fossa After Maxillary Reconstruction With Temporalis Muscle Flap

Conditions

Temporal Hollowing

Brief summary

Study conducted on patients with major maxillary defects indicating the need of reconstruction with full temporalis muscle flap; or any lesion indicating major maxillary resection and immediate reconstruction with total temporalis muscle flap. For each patient, a patient specific PEEK implant was fabricated, the temporalis muscle was exposed, elevated, and transferred to the maxilla, finally PEEK implants were fixed in place to prevent temporal hollowing.
