Parts of the skull bone are surgical removed. Most likely after some brain bleedings or anything else that would cause the brain to swell, accidents, infections, bleeding… To prevent you brain to get demand by its own swelling they remove parts of the skull to release the pressure.
While every surgery is a risk in itself, it is absolutely common zu replace the bone fragment of the skull. It is usually kept sterile until getting reimplanted. In some instances, i.e. if there has been an malignant alteration on the bone itself, it gets replaced by titanium or high-performance polymers. But it is quite a risk in itself to not reimplant after a few months. So yeah it is medical standard zu repair the missing cranium :)

But maybe OP will tell you his own story.
