For the reconstruction of extensive craniofacial bony defects, autogenous bone is the material of choice because of its potential for revascularization and its osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. In the present study, the results obtained after grafting with autogenous bone grafts in 233 patients with facial bony defects are analyzed retrospectively. At the Department of Maxillo-Faci...

Alveolar bone grafting is an integral part of the surgical management of oral clefts. The rationale behind alveolar cleft repair includes maxillary arch stabilization, closure of the oronasal fistula, nasal base support, nasolabial soft tissue reconstruction, and creation of bony support for tooth eruption or dental implant placement. Currently, the graft material of choice is autogenous bone g...

over a seven year period from 1982 to 1989,3337 conduits were created in 3137 patients with end stage renal disease (esrd) as access for chronic dialysis. these included 2690 side-to-side arteriovenous fistulae (a vf), 168 end-to-side a vfs, 10 autogenous vein grafts, 51 homogenous frozen vein grafts, 109 polytetrafluoroethylene (ptfe) grafts, 209 emergency external arteriovenous shunts, three ...

BACKGROUND Available options to fill fracture voids include autogenous bone, allograft bone, and synthetic bone materials. The objective of this meta-analysis was to determine whether the use of calcium phosphate bone cement improves clinical and radiographic outcomes and reduces fracture complications as compared with conventional treatment (with or without autogenous bone graft) for the treat...

This article describes a technique to predictably reconstruct both horizontal and vertical bony defects with one graft, the autogenous J-graft. Bone harvested from the ramus is contoured in three dimensions resulting in both a horizontal and a vertical component. When there is inadequate soft tissue due to the increase in bone volume at time of augmentation, the bone graft is combined with a pe...

The gold standard following segmental mandibulectomy is vascularized autologous bone graft in the form of the fibula flap. However, in bone reconstruction the use of autogenous bone does not always guarantee a successful outcome. The aim of the present investigation was to develop a novel biologically active bone (BAB) graft, and to use it for the reconstruction of large size defects of the man...

INTRODUCTION Autogenous iliac crest bone graft continues to be the material of choice for posterolateral lumbar intertransverse process spine fusion. However, continued interest lies in developing bone graft alternatives that can be used as either graft extenders, graft enhancers, or graft substitutes. It was the purpose of this study to evaluate the efficacy of a demineralized bone matrix/ hya...

This article is limited to a review of bone replacement graft materials used in periodontal therapy. The source, mode of bone regeneration and the respective advantages and disadvantages of autogenous, allogenic, xenogenic and alloplastic materials are discussed.

The aim of this study was to detect the inhibitory action of the early growth response gene-1 DNA enzyme (EDRz) as a carrying agent by liposomes on vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and intimal hyperplasia. An autogenous vein graft model was established. EDRz was transfected to the graft vein. The vein graft samples were obtained on each time point after surgery. The expression of the E...

We report the results of limb salvage for non-metastatic osteosarcoma of the distal tibia using resection arthrodesis, autogenous fibular graft and fixation by an Ilizarov external fixator. In six patients with primary osteosarcoma of the distal tibia who refused amputation, treatment with wide en bloc resection and tibiotalar arthrodesis was undertaken. The defect was reconstructed using non-v...
