This study aimed to compare the clinical effects of using pedicled double-barrel fibular transplantation (PDBFT) and bone transport (BT) for the treatment of upper tibial osteomyelitis with bone defec...
A total of 83 patients with upper tibial osteomyelitis and bone defects were selected and retrospectively studied in Xi'an Hong Hui Hospital from January 2009 to January 2019. There were 52 males and ...
There was no significant difference in demographic data between the two groups (p > 0.05). Operation time was 182.5 ± 22.7 min in PDBFT group vs, 124.2 ± 15.6 min in BT group, respectively (p < 0.05);...
Patients were successfully cured by both the PDBFT and BT techniques. Compared with the BT group, the PDBFT group brought better clinical effects and fewer complications which could be the first opera...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical results of the transplantation of a hyaluronic acid membrane augmented with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) in an one-step techniqu...
A total of 101 patients (64 men, 37 women, age 32.9 ± 10.9) were evaluated for a minimum of 10 years of follow-up (151.5 ± 18.4 months) The mean lesion size was 2.2 ± 1.4 cm...
The AOFAS score significantly improved from baseline (59.6 ± 13.9) to the final follow-up (82.3 ± 14.2) (p < 0.0005). A significant reduction in the AOFAS score was found from 2 to 10 years (p < 0.000...
This one-step technique showed to be an effective procedure for the treatment of OLT, providing a low failure rate and offering durable clinical improvements up to a minimum of 10 years of follow-up. ...

For alveolar bone grafting (ABG), we have been performing surgery using a technique in which a cortical bone lining iliac endplate is applied to the anterior nasal aperture inferior margin. Herein, we...
Fifty-five unilateral patients who underwent ABG at our clinic from October 2012 to March 2019 were included. We used postoperative CT data to compare the labiolingual width of the grafted bone and an...
The cortical bone lining technique was superior to the conventional method. The cortical bone lining technique showed good results regardless of alveolar cleft width or oral-nasal fistula. Also, tooth...
The cortical bone lining technique allows for the physical closure of nasolateral mucosal fistulas when it is technically difficult, and it can apply sufficient pressure to the bone marrow cancellous ...
Glenoid bone loss is among the most important risk factors for recurrent anterior shoulder instability, and a bony reconstruction is recommended in cases of critical bone loss (> 15%). The commonly us...
Twelve cadaveric shoulders were tested. A 20% bone defect of the anterior glenoid was created, and the specimens were randomly assigned for glenoid augmentation using a coracoid bone block (n = 6) or ...
The most dominant motion component was medial irreversible displacement for the spina-scapula (1.87 mm; SD: 1.11 mm) and coracoid bone blocks (0.91 mm; SD: 0.29 mm) (n.s.). The most medial irreversibl...
The medial irreversible displacement is the dominant motion component in a bone-block reconstruction after a critical bone loss of the anterior glenoid. The spina-scapula and coracoid bone blocks are ...
The recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP) is a common graft substitute for treating cases of long bone nonunion. However, the feasibility of combining an autologous bone graft (ABG) wit...
A systematic literature search was performed on PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Two authors independently screened the studies, extracted data, a...
Of the 202 citations, five studies involving a total of 394 cases met the eligibility criteria; thus, they were included in this study. The pooled data revealed no significant differences among the gr...
The combination of ABG and rhBMPs did not result in the healing of long bone nonunion and pain reduction. Nevertheless, it conferred good limb function. Thus, the findings in this study are insufficie...
Arthroscopic cartilage repair has made several strides in recent years; however, no gold standard for cartilage restoration has been found. Simple treatment with bone marrow stimulation such as microf...
Frontal sinus anterior wall defects occur because of various diseases, causing not only aesthetic problems, such as forehead bulging and upper eyelid ptosis, but also exerting physical pressure on the...
This study included 30 patients who received a split-rib bone graft for a frontal sinus anterior wall defect. The sizes and volumes of the defects and grafts were measured using three-dimensional comp...
The average size and volume of the grafts were 27.29 cm 2 and 5.88 cm 3 , whereas they were 23.76 cm 2 and 4.80 cm 3 at 24 months after surgery, respectively. In a graft size and volume of less than 2...
Frontal bone defect reconstruction revealed the stable results of the split-rib bone graft over a long period when the size and volume were less than 27 cm 2 and 6 cm 3 , respectively. Furthermore, bo...

The purpose of this study was to assess the success rate and functional outcomes of bone grafting for periprosthetic bone cysts following total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Additionally, we evaluated the...
We reviewed a total of 37 ankles (34 patients) that had undergone bone grafting for periprosthetic bone cysts. A CT scan was performed one year after bone grafting to check the status of graft incorpo...
Out of 37 ankles, graft incorporation was successful in 30 cases. Among the remaining seven cases, four (10.8%) exhibited cyst re-progression, so secondary bone grafting was needed. After secondary bo...
Bone grafting for periprosthetic bone cysts following primary TAA is a reliable procedure with a satisfactory success rate and functional outcomes. Regular follow-up, including CT scan, is important f...
Bone grafts are widely used to successfully restore structure and function to patients with a broad range of musculoskeletal ailments and bone defects. Autogenous bone grafts are historically preferre...
An insufficient volume of the alveolar bone may prevent implants from being placed in the prosthetically optimal position. Complex restoration of bony structures is required to achieve long-term peri-...
