Résumé

Secondary cranioplasty (CP) plays a key role in restoring cranial vault anatomy and normal brain function following decompressive craniectomy (DC). The scientific literature provides only fragmentary information regarding the best timing and material for CP, making a direct comparison of different materials difficult.
