Bone Graft Substitutes

Hand Clinics, 2012
Replacement of missing bone stock is a reconstructive challenge to upper extremity surgeons and decision-making with regards to available choices remains difficult. Preference is often given to autograft in the form of cancellous, cortical, or corticocancellous grafts from donor sites.

Bone Healing and Bone Substitutes

Facial Plastic Surgery, 2002
With the advent of new biomaterials and surgical techniques, the reconstructive surgeon has a wider range of treatment modalities for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of craniofacial skeletal deformities than ever before. These innovative substances act as true bone graft substitutes, thereby allowing the surgeon to avoid the use of autogenous ...

Bone substitutes

European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, 1999
Biocompatible calcium phosphate ceramics has been used for several years in orthopeadic surgery. We have been using two new synthetic biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics (BCP) since September 1996 for bone defect filling in any orthopaedic or trauma operation where autograft use was not possible or even wanted.

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 ...

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 Grafts and Bone Induction Substitutes

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1994
The use of bone grafts is the basis of all craniofacial surgery. Bone grafts are used to stabilize the open segments, expand the patient's structural boundaries, and fill defects created by trauma or congenital malformations. Bone grafts are harvested from local or distant sites as indicated. Biomaterial implants are used as bone substitutes when it is

Synthetic bone graft substitutes

ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2001
Replacement of extensive local bone loss is a significant clinical challenge. There are a variety of techniques available to the surgeon to manage this problem, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. It is well known that there is morbidity associated with harvesting of autogenous bone graft and limitations in the quantity of bone available.

Synthetic Bone Graft Substitutes

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1994
Some of the most significant advances in biomaterials over the last 20 years have been in the field of bone graft substitutes. Additionally, bone growth proteins were one of the first tissue-specific morphogenic factors to be characterized and produced by recombinant genetic technology.

Implantable Bone Substitute Materials

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1995
This article focuses on materials used as bone substitutes. The materials may be used as substitutes for autografts or, in some cases, along with autografts. Each material has unique properties that may be beneficial for specific applications. Some future developments in bone substitute materials are also discussed.

Bone substitutes: An update

Injury, 2005
Autograft is considered ideal for grafting procedures, providing osteoinductive growth factors, osteogenic cells, and an osteoconductive scaffold. Limitations, however, exist regarding donor site morbidity and graft availability. Allograft on the other hand, posses the risk of disease transmission.
