Bone transport techniques in posttraumatic bone defects

Tissue Engineering in Maxillary Bone Defects

BACKGROUND Restoration of craniofacial bone defects has been a concern for oral and maxillofacial surgeons. In this study, the healing effect of fibrin glue scaffold was compared with autologous bone graft in mandibular defects of rabbit. METHODS Bilateral unicortical osteotomy was performed in the diastema region of 10 male Dutch rabbits. The subjects were randomly divided into 2 equal group...

Treatment of traumatic bone defects by bone transport.

This study retrospectively evaluates the results of the management using the callus distraction method, of 19 patients who had developed bone defects following acute trauma. Sixteen patients were males, with a mean age of 19.4 years (6-41 years). Thirteen patients developed bone defects as a result of high-velocity gunshot injuries, and six had defects caused by traffic accidents. The location ...

Masquelet Technique for Treatment of Posttraumatic Bone Defects

Masquelet technique, which is the use of a temporary cement spacer followed by staged bone grafting, is a recent treatment strategy to manage a posttraumatic bone defect. This paper describes a series of 9 patients treated with this technique of staged bone grafting following placement of an antibiotic spacer to successfully manage osseous long bone defects. The injured limbs were stabilized an...

Evaluation of sticky bone efficacy to reconstruction of human jaw bone resorption and defects: case report

Background: One of the most significant factors in the success of dental implant procedures, can be mentioned by the quality and quantity of jaw bone. The occurrence of some problems such as trauma, infection, pathological lesions and the long-term absence of teeth in patients, it causes irregularities in the jaw bone and can get bone resorption. Sever defects after trauma or tumor resection ne...
