The aim of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of TETRANITE, a bioresorbable bone adhesive, for Cranial Flap Fixation as compared to traditional metal hardware.
This two arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of TETRANITE, a bioresorbable bone adhesive, for Cranial Flap Fixation as compared to traditional metal hardware. The control arm for this study is the standard of care plating system. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the TETRANITE arm, or the standard of care plating system arm. Participants will generally follow their standard of care follow-up for surgery for one year.

Tetranite for Cranial Flap Fixation is a bioresorbable bone adhesive that can be used to re-adhere the cranial flap following a craniotomy.
The standard of care titanium plates and screws will be used to re-adhere the cranial flap following a craniotomy.
Flap immobility at final surgical fixation (patient)
Immobility of the flap prior to surgical closure, assessed by the principal investigator and an independent neurosurgeon.
Time frame: At enrollment surgery
Flap immobility at 6 months (surgeon)
Flap immobility assessed through a flap mobility assessment by the principal investigator and an independent neurosurgeon.
Time frame: 6 months after index surgery
No incidence of serious adverse events, including unplanned retreatment of the original surgical site, adjudicated by the CEC to be device-related within 6 months of index surgery.
