A clinical comparative study between anterior iliac and proximal tibial metaphysis particulated cancellous bone grafts

• Oh SH

Abstract

This is a clinical and retrospective study of 36 patients received the autogenous particulated cancellous bone grafts from anterior iliac and proximal tibial metaphysis and we compared the clinical postoperative complications in operation sites and donor site morbidity. The results of this study indicate that, in all our patients, the proximal tibia provided an adquate volume of cancellous bone and there were no special contraindications, in choosing and using the proximal tibia as a donor site in most oral and maxillofacial cancellous bone graft surgeries. Furthermore, the proximal tibial metaphysis would appear a more easily obtainable cancellous bone source and offer a superior clinical results than anterior iliac crest in donor site morbidity.
