In order to provide a function on the body, implant as
defined organic and inorganic substance that is placed in an appropriate place,
means that the type of material to be placed within the body in medicine.
Considering the concept called as a prosthesis that completing artificially any
part of the body that is lost and helping heal, for the purposes mentioned,
artificial prosthesis structures such as joint prosthesis used in orthopedic
surgery, placed in tissue, skull implant prosthesis that are used in brain
surgery. The biggest advantages of implant prosthesis compared with other
conservative treatment methods are much more robust, comfortable, and reliable.
In many countries, due to traffic accidents and terror attacks, brain injuries
and damages are frequently observed. Because of that sort of situation, in the
process of treatment, such as brain trauma, skull implants are needed. All
implants that are used for surgical purposes must also be sterile. Depending on
technological developments, according to the needs, there are various implant
manufacturing machines, software programs and hardware. In this study, it is
intended to design and develop Cranial Implant Prosthesis to be used for
closure of skull defects and implementation to the selected patients. For this
purpose, CT images of patients are used. MIMICS software and surgical
simulation tools are utilized for producing 3D model of the skull. Finite
element analysis of titanium has been done by Patran software. The maximum
displacement of the implant, maximum stress parameters are measured with the
statistical data and supported with related figures. Various analyses have been
done during the implementation of skull implant and the results are evaluated
in details.
