STUDY DESIGN Systematic review. OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness and safety between iliac crest bone graft (ICBG), non-ICBG autologous bone, and allograft in cervical spine fusion. To avoid problems at the donor site, various allograft materials have been used as a substitute for autograft. However, there are still questions as to the comparative effectiveness and safety of cadaver allo...

PURPOSE This study was performed to compare the minimal 2-year outcome of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) allografts versus autografts, both augmented with an iliotibial band tenodesis. TYPE OF STUDY Retrospective review. METHODS Forty-six of 52 BPTB ACL reconstructions using allografts and 33 of 37 BPTB ACL reconstructions using autogr...

We report a case of combined acute and chronic dissection limited to the pulmonary autograft 10 years after a Ross procedure, managed by replacement with a stentless porcine bioprosthesis. Implications for timing and technique of reintervention for pulmonary autograft dilatation are discussed.

BACKGROUND Nerve conduits provide a promising strategy for peripheral nerve injury repair. However, the efficiency of nerve conduits to enhance nerve regeneration and functional recovery is often inferior to that of autografts. Nerve conduits require additional factors such as cell adhesion molecules and neurotrophic factors to provide a more conducive microenvironment for nerve regeneration. ...

STUDY DESIGN A prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical study. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and feasibility of osteogenic protein (OP)-1 in 1-level lumbar spine instrumented posterolateral fusions. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Instrumented posterolateral fusion with the use of autograft is a commonly performed procedure for a variety of spinal disorders. However, harvesti...

purpose: to evaluate the results of one 60-degree block conjunctival limbal autograft (clau) surgery in patients with unilateral total limbal stem cell deficiency (lscd). methods: five eyes of 5 patients were included. all patients had a history of chronic total unilateral lscd due to a chemical injury. two patients underwent one 60-degree block clau with amniotic membrane transplantation, two ...

Background. In the world literature only a few cases of medial ankle reconstruction after its traumatic loss were described. The authors have not found similar in Russian-language literature.
 aim study is to show rare clinical case patient with defect and describe method reconstruction.
 Case presentation. A 52-year-old suffered motorcycle injury resulting an open fracture bone fragm...
