Please help me. will a doctor please tell me how to convince a surgeon to use silk sutures to make my temporal bone completely fuse back in place?

Craniotomy Fusion: I don't know where your information about a craniotomy fusion came from, but the best way to get fusion is to stabilize motion. A temporal craniotomy is under the temporal muscle. Chewing can cause movement of the flap and subsequent non fusion. Most modern fixations are metal and generate an immediate fixation of the craniotomy flap to the cranium offering the best potential for union.
