Currently, there are several techniques for the rehabilitation of atrophic maxillary ridges in literature. The grafting procedure using autogenous bone is considered ideal by many researchers, as it shows osteogenic capability and causes no antigenic reaction. However, this type of bone graft has some shortcomings, mainly the restricted availability of donor sites. In recent years, several alte...

Highlights The article outlines the modern concept of arterial myocardial revascularization, presents most promising directions for development coronary surgery, and describes results prospects clinical application autogenous grafts using two internal thoracic arteries in various graft configuration situ, making it possible to assess effectiveness procedure. Abstract There are many approaches a...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this 6-month prospective randomized clinical study was to compare the effectiveness of autogenous cortical bone (ACB) and bioactive glass (BG) grafting for the regenerative treatment of intraosseous periodontal defects. METHODS Via a split-mouth design, 15 chronic periodontitis patients (7 men, 8 women; mean age, 43.47 ± 1.45 years) who had probing pocket depths (PPDs) of...

An experimental study was conducted to demonstrate macroscopic and microscopic healing of full thickness cartilage defects with mature stable hyaline cartilage after autogenous tibial periosteal transplants in the knee joints of pigs. Similar full thickness osteochondral defects were created in the medial femoral condyles of both knees in 10 healthy young adult pigs. Periosteal transplants were...

Spinal tuberculosis is still prevalent in some developing countries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of one-stage posterior debridement, autogenous bone grafting, and transpedicular screw fixation in treating monosegmental thoracic and lumbar tuberculosis in adults. 37 patients were retrospectively reviewed in this study. The data of images, operative time an...

BACKGROUND The current clinical repair method used for the segmental peripheral nerve defect is autogenous nerve grafting. However, this method has several inherent disadvantages. Therefore, the authors have invented an alternative method for repairing the segmental peripheral nerve defect with a direct gradual lengthening of nerve stumps. In this study, for the clinical application, the author...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect cartilage thickness mismatch on tibiotalar articular contact pressure in osteochondral grafting from femoral condyles medial talar dome using a finite element analysis (FEA). Materials and methods: Flush-implanted performed centromedial aspect plugs with two different thicknesses. One had an equal recipient second plug thicker repr...

We previously showed that cartilage tissue can be engineered in vitro with porcine chondrocytes and gelatin/chondoitin-6-sulfate/hyaluronan tri-copolymer which mimic natural cartilage matrix for use as a scaffold. In this animal study, 15 miniature pigs were used in a randomized control study to compare tissue engineering with allogenous chondrocytes, autogenous osteochondral (OC) transplantati...

This report describes treatment of a patient using vertical alveolar ridge augmentation performed prior to transposition of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). A preoperative computerized tomographic (CT) scan revealed 2 to 3 mm of bone above the canal in the left mandibular molar region. An autogenous bone graft harvested from the chin area was utilized along with a titanium mesh for vertical a...

Although bone grafting has a well-recognised role in orthopaedic surgery for the treatment of nonunion, bridging diaphyseal defects and filling metaphyseal defects, it is associated with postoperative pain and morbidity. When extensive grafting is required, as in spinal arthrodesis and the management of large bony defects, inadequate amounts of autologous bone may not be available. Allograft bo...
