Abstract This thesis evaluated the factors affecting bone flap survival and bone flap resorption after primary cranial reparation surgery, cranioplasty, conducted to repair a cranial bone defect with an autologous cryopreserved bone flap. Emphasis is put on the predictors, progression, and definition of an important yet poorly understood postoperative complication, bone flap resorption. Study I assessed the rates and predictors of bone flap removal and bone flap resorption in a Finnish retrospective multicentre setting. 40% of patients developed complications of whom half required bone flap removal. Bone flap resorption and surgical site infections were the underlying cause in 90% of bone flap removal surgeries. The prevalence of both surg...
