Abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate histologically vertical bone regeneration outcomes after using bovine bone graft material in block and granular forms. The buccal bony plates of the outer mandibles of ten New Zealand rabbits received BioOss® blocks that were immobilized using orthopedic mini-plates and other ten received granular forms that was gently packed and stabilized...

Object: The objective of this study is to analyze the utility of a novel autologous bone graft harvesting and collecting device in spinal fusion surgeries. Methods: 35 patients underwent fusion procedures in the cervical or lumbar spine using the BoneBac Press. Procedures included anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (ACDF), lumbar laminectomy and posterolateral arthrodesis, and transforami...

The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness combined one-stage reconstruction extensive complex defects lower limb tissues and analyze postoperative complications. Material methods . research involved 25 patients with bone soft tissue extremities. first group included 16 patients, where replacement soft-tissue leg carried out one bone-skin graft. second consisted 9 who, along maj...

The effectiveness of using the Reamer/Irrigator/Aspirator (RIA) System (Synthes, Inc, West Chester, Pennsylvania) to obtain bone graft from the intramedullary canal of long bones for the treatment of bone defects and nonunions has been previously documented. However, there is nothing in the literature discussing the potential for reaming the same canal at subsequent surgeries. The authors detai...

In regenerative approaches, scaffolds play a crucial role in defining the 3-D anatomical shape and microenvironment for cells, while maintaining space, favoring regeneration of new bone, preventing soft tissue migration bony lesion. A variety materials have been explored as bone regeneration. Metals are generally inappropriate such applications because they lack desired degradability biological...

Bone graft and bone graft substitutes are used to provide structural support and enhance bone healing. Autogenous, allogeneic, and artificial bone grafts each have advantages and drawbacks. The development of allografts, synthetic bone grafts, and new operative techniques may have influenced the use of bone grafts in recent years. The goal of this study was to analyze the use of bone grafts and...

Graft-tunnel mismatch of the bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft is a major concern during anatomical anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction if the femoral tunnel is positioned using a far medial portal technique, as the femoral tunnel tends to be shorter compared with that positioned using a transtibial portal technique. This study describes an accurate method of calculating the id...

sternal non-:union: is a severe complication of sternotomy closure following open heart surgeries. healing problems typically occur in 0.3% to 5% of patients. technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (99mtc-mdp) bone scintigraphy has been used to assess bone non:union: to predict the healing response for proper management.  in this report, we present the case of a marked sternal non:union: follow...

PURPOSE An-organic bovine bone graft is a xenograft with the potential of bone formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone density using cone beam computed tomography scans around functional endosseous implant in the region of both augmented maxillary sinus with the an-organic bovine bone graft and the alveolar bone over which the graft was placed to provide space for the implants...
