BACKGROUND Fibrous dysplasia of the proximal femur is a progressive, often recurrent condition of bone that can cause skeletal deformity, fractures, and pain [corrected]. Allogeneic cortical strut grafting to minimize the risk of fracture or as part of fracture treatment is a promising treatment option, but evidence is scarce on the intermediate- to long-term results of this procedure and there...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com membrane which is in fact a biological chamber. This prevents graft resorption by inducing vascularization and provides growth factors, it is a two-step procedure. The first step includes an extensive excision of infected and non-viable tissue, it is followed by careful stabilization of the bone and placement of cement spacer in the bone defect .and...

Abstract Background Artificial bone graft substitutes (ABGS) for curettage of tumors are becoming increasingly popular. The aim this retrospective analysis was to determine the efficacy ABGS Cerasorb (Curasan-AG, Kleinostheim, Germany), a beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP), concerning resorption profile, healing, and remodeling after surgery evaluate potential complications. Methods Forty-thr...

OBJECTIVE To compare the resorption characteristics of dorsal onlay cartilage autografts from the septum, auricle, and rib. METHODS Fourteen New Zealand white rabbits underwent harvesting of equal-sized septal, auricular, and costal cartilage grafts free of perichondrium. All autografts were implanted subcutaneously on the nasal dorsum and then removed after 3 months. Graft mass, chondrocyte ...

The use of titanium mesh for localized alveolar ridge augmentation was evaluated by clinical, radiographic, laboratory, and histologic-histomorphometric evaluation. Seventeen patients participated in this study. All patients required localized alveolar ridge augmentation before placement of dental implants. An equal mixture of autogenous bone graft and inorganic bovine mineral (Bio-Oss) was use...

Abstract Background Nasal dorsum augmentation is a highly challenging rhinoplastic procedure. Problems encountered in this surgery, such as residual humps, irregularities, and asymmetry, account for significant number of revision rhinoplasties. Objectives The aim meta-analysis was to assess complication rates graft harvesting site morbidity rates. Methods We carried out systematic review the li...

BACKGROUND In osteonecrosis the vascular supply of the bone is interrupted and the living cells die. The inorganic mineral network remains intact until ingrowing blood vessels invade the graft. Accompanying osteoclasts start to resorb the bone trabeculae and gradually replace the bone. If the osteonecrosis occurs in mechanically loaded parts, like in the subchondral bone of a loaded joint, the ...

Background Autogenous bone block graft is considered the gold standard for lateral bony defects. Dentin has been identified to be a suitable autogenous material due its structural and chemical similarities alveolar bone. Methods This proof of concept study describes clinical application tooth shell technique in 24 sites with 27 implants 22 patients. A was fixed laterally defect microscrews. Dis...

BACKGROUND Socket preservation after tooth extraction is one of the indications of bone grafting to enhance preorthodontic condition. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of socket preservation on the immediate tooth movement, alveolar ridge height preservation and orthodontic root resorption. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a split-mouth technique, twelve sites in three dogs were inves...

INTRODUCTION Glenoid bone grafting is often used in cases of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with glenoid deficiency. Additionally, bony increased-offset RSA (BIO-RSA) uses a cylindrical bonegraft harvested from the humeral head and is positioned beneath the glenoid baseplate to increase lateralization. Postoperative computed tomography (CT) has been used to detect glenoid bonegraft resorpt...
