Popis: Ultrasound-aided fixation of a biodegradable cranial fixation system called SonicWeld RxThis study included 11 pediatric patients(10 boys, 1 girl), who underwent craniotomy for moyamoya disease, brain tumor, and arachnoid cyst. Their mean age was 6.4 years, ranging from 4 to 10 years. LactoSorbThe time required for screw fixation was significantly shorter in the SonicWeld group(6.5±1.4sec)than in the LactoSorb group(13.4±2.8sec), with p0.05. The quality of fixation strength was adequate in both groups. There were no perioperative complications related to the absorbable fixation device. A 3-D skull CT detected no malposition of the bone flap 3 months postoperatively. There were no scalp complications noted for an average of 21 months.SonicWeld Rx
