Bone and Bone Graft Healing

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 2007
Bone is unique in connective tissue healing because it heals entirely by cellular regeneration and the production of a mineral matrix rather than just collagen deposition known as scar. This article discusses the cellular, tissue, and organ levels in each of the following sections--skeletal embryology, normal bone, examples of abnormal bone, and bone ...

Alveolar Bone Grafting

2012
In the 1970s, Boyne and Sands published reports on a new technique for alveolar bone grafting. They recommended that only cancellous bone be used and that the procedure be undertaken in the mixed dentition prior to canine eruption. Alveolar bone grafting prior to canine eruption soon became a routine part of the protocol for 90% of European and North ...

VASCULARIZED BONE GRAFTS

Orthopedics, 1994
ABSTRACT Free vascularized bone grafts allow living bone tissue to be transplanted to replace a bone defect. The use of vascularized bone grafts requires microvascular dissection and attachment to a recipient site artery and vein, whereas rotational or pedicle grafts are moved, while still attached to their blood supply, to a new site ...

Bone grafts and their substitutes

The Bone & Joint Journal, 2016
The continual cycle of bone formation and resorption is carried out by osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts under the direction of the bone-signaling pathway. In certain situations the host cycle of bone repair is insufficient and requires the assistance of bone grafts and their substitutes.

Complications in Bone Grafting

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 2011
Autogenous bone grafts continue to have wide use for reconstructing alveolar defects because of the many advantages associated with them. Although complications are low, the harvesting of bone grafts does have the risk of morbidity, which varies based on the harvest site chosen. Patients should be informed of possible complications associated with bone

Autogenous bone grafting

The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 1996
Complex, out-of-the-ordinary problems are often encountered when evaluating patients for reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. Salvage of these complex problems in the foot and ankle often requires the use of autogenous bone grafts. This article provides a brief overview of autografts including indications, healing, graft types, and perioperative ...

Bone Graft Materials

Dental Clinics of North America, 2007
This article examines each class of bone grafting material based on some of the studies in each of the following categories: safety, animal research, periodontal and maxillofacial applications, skeletal grafting, and attempts to qualify the efficacy of each class of material.

Bone graft substitutes

Journal of Hand Therapy, 2003
A better understanding of the biology of fracture healing and an increasing awareness of the limitations and potential complications of autogenous bone graft harvest have combined to foster a burgeoning interest in the development of bone graft substitutes. A few of these materials have been available for more than a decade, and many more should become

Bone graft substitutes

Skeletal Radiology, 2007
Surgeons involved in skeletal repair, reconstruction, and oncology commonly encounter or create bone defects that are unlikely to heal if treated by fixation alone. Cancellous and cortical autografts have been used for decades to treat skeletal defects, but the amount of autograft is limited, and morbidity related to autograft harvesting can be ...

BIOLOGY OF BONE GRAFTS

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1999
The terminology of bone transplantation is complicated by the various histologic types of bone grafts. A graft moved from one site to another within the same individual is an autograft; the corresponding adjective is autologous or autogenous. An allograft (adjective, allogeneic) is tissue transferred between two genetically different individuals of the
