Some of the potential risks and complications of bone grafts employing the iliac crest as a donor site include: [23] [24] [25] acquired bowel herniation (this becomes a risk for larger donor sites (>4 cm)). [23] About 20 cases have been reported in the literature from 1945 until 1989 [26] and only a few hundred cases have been reported ...
Conceptually, the in vivo bioreactor was borne from complications in a repair method of bone fracture, bone loss, necrosis, and tumor reconstruction known as bone grafting. Traditional bone grafting strategies require fresh, autologous bone harvested from the iliac crest; this harvest site is limited by the amount of bone that can safely be ...
A fracture of the left iliac wing. The iliac crest has a large amount of red bone marrow, and thus it is the site of bone marrow harvests (from both sides) to collect the stem cells used in bone marrow transplantation. The iliac crest is also considered the best donor site for bone grafting when a large quantity of bone is needed. For example ...
A Phemister graft is a type of bone graft which uses bone tissue harvested from the patient to treat slow-healing, or delayed union bone fractures. [1] Thus, it is a form of autotransplantation. Typically, the tissue used in the graft is cancellous bone harvested from the patient's Iliac crest and laid in strips across the fracture site.
Split-thickness skin grafts (the epidermis and part of the dermis) Full-thickness skin grafts (the epidermis and the entire thickness of the dermis) Bone grafting – used in dental implants, as well as other instances. The bone may be autologous, typically harvested from the iliac crest of the pelvis, or banked bone/allograft. [2]
Bone grafts repair damaged bones or help heal fractures. Autograft tissues are commonly obtained from the posterior iliac crest due to their high osteogenic potential and ability to supply both cancellous and cortical bones . [ 21 ]
Location of the incision to harvest bone from the anterior iliac crest. The most common source of the bone graft is from the iliac crest, [6] harvested at the time of the cleft closure. Other sources such as the chin, and posterior iliac crest, or skull can also be used. Artificial grafts such as demineralized bone, recombinent bone morphogenic ...
Dysfunction of the superior cluneal nerves is often due to entrapment as the nerves cross the iliac crest – this can result in numbness, tingling or pain in the low back and upper buttocks region. Superior cluneal nerve dysfunction is a clinical diagnosis that can be supported by diagnostic nerve blocks.
