Abstract
Experience with thirty-seven patients demonstrating the versatility of the split calvarial graft in facial reconstruction is presented. A total of sixty grafts have been used with no evidence of significant clinical reabsorption, infection, or extrusion; advantages and limitations are discussed. We conclude that the split calvarium represents a readily available and reliable source of membranous bone for grafting maxillofacial defects with minimal limitations and low morbidity.
