Case Study:Successful Cranioplasty Case in Mexico Using Titanium Mesh System

Case Overview

This successful cranioplasty case was performed at the State Hospital in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico, where an advanced skull defect reconstruction surgery was completed using CZMEDITECH titanium mesh implant system. The patient, a 49-year-old male, previously underwent decompressive craniotomy and presented with cranial bone loss accompanied by arterial hypertension. After detailed radiological evaluation and clinical assessment, the neurosurgical team selected a high-strength titanium mesh cranial implant combined with self-drilling screws to restore skull integrity, improve cranial protection, and achieve long-term structural stability. This approach is widely recognized as an effective solution for complex cranial defect repair and craniofacial reconstruction

Advanced Surgical Strategy

The cranioplasty procedure focused on precise skull reconstruction, stable implant fixation, and anatomical contour restoration. The titanium mesh was customized and contoured according to the patient’s cranial defect, ensuring high conformity with cranial anatomy. Key surgical highlights include: Accurate skull defect measurement and preparation Custom titanium mesh shaping for cranial contour reconstruction Secure fixation with 2.0mm self-drilling cranial screws Intraoperative imaging guidance for optimal implant positioning Enhanced postoperative stability and reduced complication risk This technique demonstrates excellent performance in neurosurgical reconstruction and is frequently used in advanced cranial repair surgery.

Clinical Imaging Analysis

Intraoperative images demonstrate the stable placement of titanium mesh during the cranioplasty surgery, highlighting excellent adaptability and precision fixation. Postoperative images confirm complete coverage of the cranial defect area, showing smooth surface integration and optimal surgical outcome. This visual evidence reinforces the role of titanium mesh in modern neurosurgical skull reconstruction

Implant Specifications

Titanium Mesh

Instrument Set

A specialized cranioplasty instrument kit was used, enabling efficient mesh shaping, handling and fixation, improving surgical precision and procedural workflow.

Postoperative Imaging

Postoperative images confirmed secure positioning and successful integration of the titanium mesh. The reconstructed cranial surface demonstrated excellent symmetry and contour, indicating effective restoration of protective and aesthetic functions. No immediate complications were observed, and the patient progressed steadily in recovery.

Surgical Summary

Dr. Leonel expressed high satisfaction with the performance of the titanium mesh and self-drilling screws, noting their strength, stability and precision compatibility with the instrument set. He emphasized that CZMEDITECH products contributed significantly to the success of this cranioplasty procedure.
