Abstract
A procedure for duplication of cranial bone flaps used in cranioplasty is described. This procedure overcomes the difficulties inherent in d irect duplication of irregular-shaped bone flaps through primary repli cation of the flap in wax. The wax pattern is used to fabricate the de finitive prosthesis.
