This study validates our hypothesis that the donor site morbidity after tricortical iliac crest graft harvesting is probably a structural issue and it can be reduced by reconstruction of the defect. It also highlights the fact that the Chitra-HABG block is an excellent material for reconstruction of the iliac crest defect, as it gets incorporated into the surrounding bone without adverse effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
