Objectives: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears are a common sporting injury and optimal graft choice is of concern for both patients surgeons. Few comparative studies have evaluated return to sport reinjury rates across types. The purpose the present study was evaluate reinjuries among hamstring tendon (HT), quadriceps (QT), patellar (BPTB) ACL reconstructions. Methods: Recreational competi...

Recently, clinical application of autogenous tooth bone-graft materials has been reported. Autogenous tooth bone graft has been used in implant surgery. Familial tooth bone graft is a more advanced procedure than autogenous teeth bone graft in that extracted teeth can be used for bone graft materials of implant and teeth donation between siblings is possible. We used autogenous tooth and famili...

Background: Rupture of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) would cause instability and disability and if left untreated. Reconstruction is performed by different techniques including patellar bone graft, as the strongest device. Application of brace after ACL reconstructions has revealed doubtful results. Methods: One hundred ACL ruptured patients randomized into two groups were reconstructed with...

background and aims. complete and predictable regeneration of tissue lost as a result of infection or trauma is the ultimate goal of periodontal therapy. various graft materials have been successfully used in the treatment of intrabony defects. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (cerabone) with the autogenous bone graft as a gold stand...

demineralized bone matrix has been successfully commercialized as an alternative bone graft material that not only can function as filler but also as an osteoinductive graft. numerous studies have confirmed its beneficial use in clinical practice. heterotopic ossification after internal fixation combined with the use of demineralized bone matrix has not been widely reported. in this paper we de...

Bone morphogenetic proteins are a necessary component of the fracture healing cascade. Few studies have delineated the efficacy of iliac crest bone graft and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2), especially, in comparison with the gold standard treatment of nonunion, which is autogenous bone graft alone. This study compared the outcome of patients with fracture nonunion trea...

A majority of patients with orofacial cleft deformity requires cleft repair through a bone graft. However, elevated amount of bone resorption and subsequent bone graft failure remains a significant clinical challenge. Bisphosphonates (BPs), a class of anti-resorptive drugs, may offer great promise in enhancing the clinical success of bone grafting. In this study, we compared the effects of syst...

background: nanosized ceramics may represent a promising class of bone graft substitutes due to their improved osseointegrative properties. nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (ncha) bind to bone and stimulate bone healing by stimulation of osteoblast activity. the present study aims to explore the clinical and radiographical outcome of ncha bonegraft (sybograf®) with collagen membrane (periocol®), ...

Treatment of delayed union, malunion, and nonunion is a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeons in veterinary and human fields. Apart from restoration of alignment and stable fixation, in many cases adjunctive measures such as bone-grafting or use of bone-graft substitutes are of paramount importance. Bone-graft materials usually have one or more components: an osteoconductive matrix, which acts ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to create a new injectable bone graft substitute by combining the features of calcium phosphate and bisphosphonate as a composite bone graft to support bone healing and to evaluate the effect of alendronate to the bone healing process in an animal model. MATERIAL AND METHOD In this study, 24 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: a...
