Objectives: To assess clinical outcomes and complications with the use of crushed septal cartilage graft in rhinoplasty and nasal septal surgery. Method: A prospective clinical study has done at a tertiary referral centre included 32 patients who underwent crushed cartilage grafting during rhinoplasty and nasal septal surgery with autogenous septal cartilage as the graft material. Slight or mod...

BACKGROUND To compare the different resorption patterns between resorbable membrane barrier and periosteum after iliac block bone grafting radiographically and histologically. METHODS Eighteen mature male rabbits weighing from 2.0 to 2.5 kg were used. The recipient site was the rabbit skull, and autogenous iliac bone was used as the grafting material. The harvested iliac block bones were divi...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate long-term structural, functional, and cosmetic results as well as resorption with the use of irradiated homologous rib cartilage grafts (IHRGs). DESIGN Cases in which IHRGs were used were reviewed for a long-term follow-up study for nasal and auricular reconstruction, dating back 18 years. A retrospective medical chart review was conducted in the cases in which the patie...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Allografts are often used during revision hip replacement surgery for stabilization of the implant. Resorption of the allograft may exceed new bone formation, and instability of the prosthesis can develop. We investigated whether strontium could regulate the imbalance of fast resorption of allograft and slower formation of new bone, because it is both an anabolic and an a...

Autologous fat grafting enables repair and augmentation of soft tissues and is increasingly used in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The main limitation of fat grafting is unpredictable graft resorption. To obviate this disadvantage, several studies have searched for new ways of increasing the viability of the transplanted tissue. One promising approach has been to mix the fat graft with Pla...

BACKGROUND Osteoconductive additives are used in resorbable interference screws for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction to improve graft incorporation and mitigate adverse effects. There are no published studies that compare biological performances of bioresorbable and biocomposite screws without artifacts due to different follow-up times and intrinsic patient characteristics. PUR...

Alendronate, one of the bisphosphonates, is known to have an inhibitory effect on bone resorption. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of alendronate on ectopic bone graft resorption and to determine the optimal dose in the mouse. The grafted bone in the control group disappeared due to resorption by osteoclasts within 5 weeks. In the experimental groups, the area of bone t...

PURPOSE A new method of reconstruction of the atrophic maxilla by combining a bilateral sinus floor elevation and cancellous bone graft with buccal and labial onlay graft using L-shaped corticocancellous blocks from the posterior iliac crest is presented. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventeen patients were treated with this procedure. One hundred one IMZ implants were placed in 14 patients, and 22 B...

replacement cases were followed-up a mean of reported that 70 % of the revisions of the acetabular 4.3 years (2 to 9.8 years). Of the 167 cases, 28 component that had been performed with cement in hips had a bulk structural allograft and 139 hips their series were associated with progressive had a rim fit. Of the 139 rim fit acetabular radiolucency. Revision arthroplasty using cemented componen...

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...
