HYDRODISSECTION- A NEW TECHNIQUE OF HAMSTRING GRAFT HARVESTING

Bone graft harvesting: a percutaneous technique.

Graft Preparation Technique to Optimize Hamstring Graft Diameter for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Hamstring autografts are frequently used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The inherent variability in graft diameter has been stated as a disadvantage in its use because the presence of smaller graft diameters has been correlated with increased risk of re-rupture. Several techniques have been described to address this concern. Modifications of the basic Graftlink technique allows ...

Complications of harvesting a connective tissue graft from the palate. A retrospective study and description of a new technique

Background Connective tissue graft (CTG) is considered as the gold standard for the treatment of gingival recessions (GR). There are few studies assessing the complications that can arise in the donor site when harvesting a connective tissue graft (CTG) and how the harvesting technique can influence those complications. Material and Methods A retrospective clinical study was carried out in or...

A new donor cornea harvesting technique for posterior lamellar keratoplasty.

AIMS To describe a technique for posterior lamellar keratoplasty donor preparation. METHODS In an experimental study eight human donor research corneas were mounted onto an artificial anterior chamber and deep stromal pockets dissected. Four corneas were mounted in the standard endothelial side down orientation and dissected using standard instruments (group 1). Another four corneas were moun...
