Study conducted on patients with major maxillary defects indicating the need of reconstruction with full temporalis muscle flap; or any lesion indicating major maxillary resection and immediate reconstruction with total temporalis muscle flap.
For each patient, a patient specific PEEK implant was fabricated, the temporalis muscle was exposed, elevated, and transferred to the maxilla, finally PEEK implants were fixed in place to prevent temporal hollowing.
