Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 319174 0
Failure of cranioplasty implant - The primary outcome measures will be failure of the tissue engineered construct such that it requires removal ( for example due to infection, resorption, dislodgement or cosmetic failure), as well as any significant adverse events attributable to treatment allocation.

This is a composite outcome

Assessment
Infection: clinical assessment by Neurosurgeon
Resorption: CT scan at 12 most post op radiological assessment
Cosmesis: Assessment by Neurosurgeon at 3months, 6 months and 12months.
Position of plate: CT scan day Post op day 1
Timepoint [1] 319174 0
12 months
Secondary outcome [1] 367179 0
Quantitative bone density of the tissue engineered construct and adjacent bone from CT scan at 12 months.

Assessment: CT scan, analysis of Hounsfield units of host bone and of tissue engineered construct
Timepoint [1] 367179 0
12 months
Secondary outcome [2] 367180 0
Assessment of cosmesis by photography

Assessment: clinical photography at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Timepoint [2] 367180 0
12 months
