We examined Mersilene Mesh for cranioplasty and evaluate its efficacy.&#13;
Methods: Forty traumatic patients with cranial depressed fracture were studied. They were divided two group randomly. Interventional group was treated by MadrilÃ¨ne Mesh. Cranial fractured bones were sutured to each other with silk. Patients were followed in 1, 3, 6 and 12 month continually.&#13;
Results: Only two patients in interventional group and seven patients in control group had some looseness in cranial bone after 9 months follow up (P &lt; 0.05). There was no evidence of infection, graft rejection and wound dehisence in two groups.&#13;
Discussion: It seems that Mersilene mesh use in cranioplasty is effective and useful.</abstract><web_url>http://jrms.mui.ac.ir/index.php/jrms/article/view/3443</web_url></Article></Articles>
