Ali Ciftci suffered a catastrophic injury while defending his home in Istanbul from a burglar. Surgeons collaborated with bio-engineers to scan his remaining skull and 3D-print a custom patient-specific titanium implant.

Was he defending his home against a giant lobster?

not saying this is fake but I can’t find credible source that this person exist, all I see is either Facebook or Instagram post with the same picture. Even Google’s own AI could only give me those.
I will be glad if anyone could correct me.

This is so weird. Earlier today while I was at physical therapy I over heard a man talking about how half his skull is plastic. Then a few hours later & I see this guy’s skull is part titanium. I’m nearly 50 & I have never heard of this, then twice in one day. What are the odds?

it was way funnier when I read that as ‘Bulgar’ instead of Burglar
peak
That’s a pretty good before and after. … unless it’s an after and before. In which case the reddit switcheroo smiles.
Way to go humans! Good on ya!!
“Remaining skull” is wild.
Did the burglars steal his skull bones?

How the hell was his brain unaffected?
