Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The authors report a case of a patient managed for severe cranial vault depression following combined neurosurgery and radiotherapy. This situation caused major aesthetic discomfort and was potentially dangerous due to the mechanical weakness of the bone flap. The authors had a CAD (computer aided design) silicone elastomer custom-made implant made to fill perfectly the depression. Beforehand, an expansion was performed to cover the implant after removal of the radiated skin. The surgery and post-operative course raised no concerns. After one year of follow-up, the result is very good and the patient very satisfied, proving that this technique certainly has its place in the therapeutic arsenal when faced with a tissue defect of the cranial vault. Les auteurs rapportent un cas clinique d’un patient pris en charge pour une dépression importante de la voute crânienne faisant suite à une association chirugicale et radiothérapie. Cette situation entraînait une gêne esthétique majeure et était potentiellement dangereuse en raison de la faiblesse mécanique du volet osseux. Les auteurs ont réalisé un implant siliconé construit par CAO afin de combler la dépression. Au préalable une expansion avait été réalisée afin de venir couvrir l’implant après exérèse de la peau radiothérapée. L’intervention et les suites se sont déroulées sans problématique. À 1 an de recul, il existe un très bon résultat et une grande satisfaction chez le patient prouvant que cette technique a certainement sa place dans l’arsenal thérapeutique face à un défaut tissulaire de la voûte crânienne.
