According to the surgical report my doctor gave me, the bone flap was secured with 2 titanium plates and 8 screws. Fibrinogen tissue glue (Tisseel) was also used. I do have chronic headaches when not treated.

Jean: With my orginal surgery I would presumed I had the cement but I have huge indents that have never fully recalcified. With the second I had fat.....wish they had taken all they could......they could have just given my free lipod while they were at it!lol

Bone cement here, plus titanium mesh and maybe some screws.  I don't have a problem with headaches.  Just a little bit sore when I sneeze or cough and when I get over tired.
