Incisional hernia through iliac crest bone graft donor sites

Iliac crest morbidity following maxillofacial bone grafting in children: A clinical and radiographic prospective study

“…Immediate complications include peritoneal perforation and peritonitis with or without herniation of abdominal viscera (Boyne et al, 2002;Danikas et al, 2002), adynamic ileus (Nkenke et al, 2004), retroperitoneal haematoma, ureteric injury (Goulet et al, 1997), superior gluteal artery injury, pseudoaneurysm of the pelvic vasculature (Catinella et al, 1990) and arteriovenous fistulae (Goulet et al, 1997), irreversible nerve injury (lesions of the lateral femoral cutaneous, the ilioinguinal and the lateral cutaneous ramus of the iliohypogastric nerve) (De La Torre et al, 1999;Burstein et al, 2000;Eufinger and Leppänen, 2000;Bents, 2002;Mischkowski et al, 2006) and massive blood loss. The lack of severe persistent pain or other major complications in the present series of patients may be ascribed to the carefully applied conservative surgical technique, comprising layer-bylayer dissection and by tension free suturing.…”

Restoration of Critical-Size Defects in the Rabbit Mandible Using Porous Nanohydroxyapatite-Polyamide Scaffolds

“…5 However, its limitations include insufficient bone volume, donor site complications, and so on. [6][7][8] And it is obvious that ethic problems and histocompatability issues would preclude the xenografts' use. The allografts, especially the synthetics, have significant advantages, including no ethic problems, no acquirement limitation, and easy individual prefabrication, 9 what determine the bright prospect of synthetics as the implants and for the tissue engineering bone.…”

Osteointegration of Autogenous Bone Graft Associated With Osteoblastic Cells Under Treatment With Caffeine

“…10 Its limitations include insufficient bone volume, donor site morbidity, deformity, discomfort, infection susceptibility, and occurrence of continuous progressive resorption. 11,12 Because of the limitations of several graft materials, recently researchers have been using bone tissue engineering as a strategy for bone regeneration. 13 Adult bone marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells, considered multipotent because they can differentiate themselves in mesenchymal tissue as bone, cartilage, fat, tendon, muscle, and marrow stroma, and have received widespread attention around their potential use in tissue engineering applications.…”
