Consolidation with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has improved survival for patients with central nervous system tumors (CNSTs). The impact of the autologous graft CD34+ dos...
Cultured epithelial autografts (CEAs) have been used for decades as a treatment for massive burn injuries. Cultured epithelial autografts allow for wounds to heal by taking a small sample and growing ...
To compare the outcomes of pterygium surgery by using an inferior rotational autograft and a conventional superior conjunctival autograft....
This was a prospective interventional comparative study of 85 eyes of patients who were divided into two groups of 45 and 40. Standard techniques of both procedures were performed by a single surgeon....
All the subjects were in the age group 53 ± 7.56 (40-74) years. Demographic data and type of pterygium were comparable in the two groups. In the rotational group, the preoperative astigmatism was - 2....
Inferior rotational conjunctival autografting is a good technique for management of pterygium. It has a profile similar to that of conventional conjunctival autograft....
Nerve autografts involve the transplantation of a segment of the patient's own nerve to bridge a nerve gap. Autografts provide biological compatibility, support for axonal regeneration, and the abilit...
To compare the semitendinosus and gracilis tendon lengths and diameters to the palmaris longus, plantaris, flexor digitorum profundus, and flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendons in a cadaveric model to ...
Fifteen fresh cadavers were evaluated for surgical incisions about the knee, forearm, and hand. All flexor digitorum profundus (FDP), FPL, palmaris longus, plantaris, semitendinosus, and gracilis tend...
The gracilis (18.0 cm) and semitendinosus (19.9 cm) means were notably longer than the palmaris longus (16.0 cm) and shorter than the plantaris (30.0 cm). The average gracilis tendon diameter (3.8 mm)...
This study showed the gracilis tendon to have adequate length and diameter for potential autograft use in staged flexor tendon reconstruction in all digits but the little finger. The semitendinosus is...
Common tendon autograft options for flexor tendon reconstruction are variably present, and the use of gracilis and semitendinosus autograft present potential graft options....
This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the isokinetic strength of the muscular knee joint between quadriceps tendon autografts (QTAs) and hamstring tendon autografts (HTAs) or patellar tend...
Two independent reviewers searched the Medline (via PubMed search engine), Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases to include full text comparative studies that assessed isokinetic stren...
In total, ten studies were included; seven compared studies QTAs vs. HTAs, and three compared QTAs vs. PTAs. Five studies were included in the meta-analysis. Isokinetic strength data were reported 3, ...
The QTAs showed better and significant results with knee flexion compared with HTAs, similar results to PTAs at 6 and 12 months. While HTAs showed better and significant results with knee extension at...
Osteochondral autograft transplantation (OAT) is a technique to reconstruct the proximal pole scaphoid nonunion associated with an intact dorsal and volar scapholunate ligament. This study aimed to re...
A retrospective review of patients who underwent proximal pole scaphoid nonunion reconstruction with a femoral trochlea OAT was undertaken between 2018 and 2022. Patient demographics, scaphoid nonunio...
Eight patients underwent the procedure at an average of 18.2 months from injury. Four patients failed prior attempts at scaphoid union surgery, one of whom failed two prior surgeries. Four had no prio...
Osteochondral autograft transplantation is an attractive surgical reconstructive procedure for patients with proximal pole scaphoid nonunions associated with an intact scapholunate ligament. Osteochon...

After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the autologous graft options available to the rhinoplasty surgeon, including septal cartilage, auricular cartilage, costal...
This review focuses on the graft options available to the modern rhinoplasty surgeon. Autologous options are varied in the quality of cartilage harvested and the morbidity of the donor site. In additi...
The anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the gold standard in the treatment of cervical compression pathology and the titanium cage for fusion represents the most used procedure at an ins...
To compare the rate of fusion, subsidence and functional clinical results after discectomy with titanium cage and fibular autograft....
A clinical trial with follow-up at 3 and 6 months was carried out in patients diagnosed with cervical spondylosis, candidates for ACDF. 2 groups were formed: fibular autograft and titanium cage. Pre a...
A sample of 20 patients with an average age of 56 years was obtained, finding a fusion rate of 90% for fibular autograft and 30% for titanium (p = 0.02) at 3 months. 10% of patients with fibular autog...
The use of autologous fibular graft offers a better rate of fusion and subsidence compared to the titanium cage, as well as similar functional results at 3 months of follow-up. It represents an excell...
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured knee ligament, typically in non-contact athletic injuries in young adults. Mucoid degeneration of the ACL (ACL-MD) is an uncommon AC...
