| Popis: | A new device (a tackshooter) to apply bioabsorbable tacks in craniofacial surgery has been developed. This new device was used in 15 children who underwent various cranioplasty procedures to demonstrate its reliability and simple technical application in cranial bone osteofixation. Bone segments were fixed together and to the cranial bones using Biosorb plates and tacks. Stable and secure fixation was obtained intraoperatively, with reduced operative time (10-15%) compared with earlier use of plates and screws. However, its use in very thin bone ( |
