Meta-analysis identifies predictors of infection and bone resorption in pediatric cranioplasty, suggesting improvements.

About 30% of pediatric patients experience bone resorption requiring reoperation after cranioplasty.
Infection rates in pediatric cranioplasty reach approximately 10%, with significant predictors identified.
The study analyzed seven retrospective case series involving 594 pediatric patients across various outcomes.
Early intervention and titanium fixation materials may significantly reduce complication rates in pediatric cranioplasty.

Shabo et al. (2025) studied this question.
