A Case of Repair of Frontal Sinus Anterior Wall Defect Cased by Chronic Frontal Osteomyelitis Using Tutoplast® (Allograft Cancellous Bone Chip)

Prognosis of Performing Split-Rib Bone Graft for Cranial Bone Defects

“…6 Regardless of the size of the defect, the reconstruction typically involves the use of alloplastic materials; however, these materials have a risk of rejection and infection, and complications, such as skin atrophy, may occur because of decreased circulation over the material. 7,8 In addition, an autologous bone graft using split calvaria is widely used as the method of choice to cover a large area. Little risk of rejection and infection is associated with the use of split calvaria grafts compared with alloplastic materials; however, there is a risk of complications, such as intracerebral hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, dura tear, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage during harvest.…”
