various biological bone g rafts have been used for osteogenes i s , osteoconduction and even osteoinduction, but due to systemic influences and local factors, the outcome of successful incorporation of a bone graft has not been satisfactory. this study was therefore conducted on 15 clinically healthy adult dogs between 1 to 3 years of age weighing 20 to 30 kg to evaluate the effect of bone ceme...

BACKGROUND: Dental disease, trauma and maxillofacial surgeries can cause alveolar bone defects. Among different kinds of treatment, autogenous bone grafts is accepted as a golden standard. On the other hand, because of limitation of treatment with autogenous bone grafts, osteogenic cells derived from stem cells are suggested. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the mean density of ...

although various techniques have been described for treatment of severe nose deformities, these problems have high revision rates.  conventional nasal septal surgery may not be adequate for all cases. a 21-year-old male patient with nose deformity underwent a nasal surgery. patient had both functional and aesthetic nasal problems. rigid fibular bone graft was used for corrective nasal surgery. ...

conclusions saddle nose reconstruction with bone graft in multiple facial fracture patients is a predictable method if surgical accesses to the region are carefully designed, considering the accompanying fractures. results there were 11 patients treated using this method. the male-to-female ratio was 7:5. one miniscrew with the lag technique was the preferred method for the fixation of the dors...

surgery on the skeleton frequently requires harvesting of autogenous bone graft from the pelvis, but this procedure often is complicated by problems. the purpose of this retrospective, comparative descriptive study was to compare the efficacy of metal-derived bioactive glass (novabone) versus autogenous iliac crest bone graft in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery. the study was carried out...

There is controversy in the literature regarding a number of topics related to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)reconstruction. The purpose of this article is to answer the following questions: 1) Bone patellar tendon bone (BPTB) reconstruction or hamstring reconstruction (HR); 2) Double bundle or single bundle; 3) Allograft or authograft; 4) Early or late reconstruction; 5) Rate of return to sp...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions are common postoperative orthopedic conditions encountered by sports rehabilitation specialists. The rationale for reconstructing the ACL is to restore mechanical stability of the knee joint and prevent associated musculoskeletal sequelae. The selection of available autogenous graft options for surgical interventions continues to be a controversi...

PURPOSE This study aimed to systematically review the highest level of evidence on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autografts with patellar tendon defect closure versus no closure after surgery. METHODS We performed a systematic review of multiple medical databases using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (P...
