Abstract
The cranial cover can form a contoured surface to conform to a patient's cranium. The cover is an array of generally evenly spaced screw-receiving openings. Arms extend between the screw-receiving openings from one screw-receiving opening to the adjacent screw-receiving openings. The centerline of each arm is angled to the center of the screw-receiving openings between which the arm extends. The four arms of four adjacent screw-receiving openings create a rhombus shaped central opening.
