The Rationale for Vascularized Bone Grafts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bone grafts are commonly used in all specialties of orthopaedic surgery, and an understanding of the principles and techniques of bone grafting is critical to the care of traumatic, developmental, and reconstructive musculoskeletal conditions. While most orthopaedic surgeons are familiar with the utilization of non-vascularized bone graft and bone graft substitutes, the applications of vascularized bone grafts --and free vascular fibula grafts in particular—are often less well understood. The purpose of this article is to review the principles and technique of free vascularized fibula grafting, with particular attention to its applications in pediatric orthopaedic surgery.

Reconstructionof Human Mandibular Continuity Defects with Allogenic Scaffold and Autologousmarrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Background Mandibular continuity defects occur after tumor resection, maxillofacial injury, or osteomyelitis. Despite the current availability of a plethora of treatment modalities, bone substitutes, and various clinical adjuncts, an exact reconstructive recapitulation of large bony defects continues to be beyond reach. In this clinical pilot study, we report a novel method for reconstruction ...

OBJECTIVE Through an experimental model, our aim was to create inferences about the viability of vascularized bone grafts from the iliac crest in rats and investigate their histological features. METHODS Twenty-one rats were used, divided into two groups: the first consisted of animals that were subjected to the technique of vascularized bone graft pedicled onto the iliac branch of the iliolu...

PURPOSE The present study is a review of patients with scaphoid non-unions treated with a dorsal vascularized bone graft. The study highlights a subset of patients incorrectly diagnosed as graft failures. METHODS A retrospective review of patients who received vascularized grafts for scaphoid nonunions was performed over a four-year period. The vascularized graft of choice for this group was ...
متن کاملPedicled vascularized bone grafts for disorders of the carpus: scaphoid nonunion and Kienbock's disease.
The use of reverse-flow pedicled vascularized bone grafts from the dorsal distal radius makes it possible to transfer bone with a preserved circulation and viable osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The resultant primary bone healing without creeping substitution within the dead bone is an alternative to conventional bone grafting in aiding or accelerating healing, replacing deficient bone, and/or rev...
متن کاملBlood-pool SPECT in addition to bone SPECT in the viability assessment in mandibular reconstruction.
INTRODUCTION The assessment of the postoperative viability of vascularized and non-vascularized grafts used in the reconstruction of mandibular defects due to trauma and surgical reasons is a major problem in maxillofacial surgery. AIM In the present study, we evaluated the feasibility and image quality of blood-pool SPECT, which is used for the first time in the literature here in the assess...
