Sumario:Contour irregularities following pediatric craniofacial surgery are common. Hydroxyapatite cranioplasty is a successful technique for optimizing the aesthetic outcome in these patients. We describe a simple technique that can be carried out at the bedside to calculate the volume of hydroxyapatite needed and therefore optimize the preoperative planning for hydroxyapatite cranioplasty.
