Abstract
A large range of manufacturing techniques of titanium cranioplasty plates was confirmed and significant differences were found. Amongst other recommendations, bead blasting with Al2O3 is not recommended for commercially pure titanium implant surface finishing due to aluminium contamination. The recommendations outlined will minimise manufacturing time, reduce risk of complication (thus costs) and unify methods to enable a safe, reliable treatment.
