Purpose: Our aim was to augment the extremely atrophic mandibular alveolar crest with a pedicled transplant as the best option for a satisfactory preprosthetic outcome.
Materials And Methods: After computed tomography of the mandible, a model was milled for 6 patients. The iliac crest transplant with its vascular pedicle was harvested and, after preliminary preparation, fixed to the model. The transplant was then placed in the axilla. After 3 months, the graft was removed and fixed to the mandible.
Results: The prefabricated transplant fit exactly in all 6 patients. The length of the pedicle and coverage with the newly developed alveolar mucous membrane were satisfactory. The grafts allowed prosthetic reconstruction with good functional outcomes. No bone loss was observed during 7 years of follow-up. Additionally, indocyanine green angiography showed good perfusion in 4 patients after 6 months.
Conclusions: The results suggest that carefully prefabricated pedicled transplants can augment an atrophied mandibular alveolar crest.

From the Division of Plastic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, AZ.
Background: Vertebral body defects pose a significant challenge in spinal reconstructive surgery. Compression fractures of the vertebral corpus are typically treated with vertebral augmentation procedures. There are significant risks associated with the introduction of foreign material in the spine, including infection and pseudarthrosis.

Introduction: Surgical treatment of pelvic girdle pain (PGP) involves arthrodesis of sacroiliac (SI) and pubic symphysis joints. Fusion of pubic symphysis involves the implantation of an autologous iliac crest tricortical graft harvested from the iliac crest. The objective was to assess the safety of a novel synthetic graft substitute (b.

Background: Surgical management methods for Hepple IV-V osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) are diverse. This study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic autologous cancellous bone grafting and medial malleolar osteotomy combined with autologous periosteal iliac bone grafting in the treatment of medial Hepple IV-V OLT.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of clinical data from patients who underwent surgical treatment for Hepple IV-V OLT (2020-2023) was conducted.

Background: To investigate and quantify the influence of body mass index (BMI) on the efficacy and outcomes of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic surgery (PTES), a novel minimally invasive surgical technique in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
Methods: A total of 55 patients suffering from single-level LDH with or without high iliac crest, scoliosis or calcification, who underwent PTES in our department from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups according to BMI.

Department of Joint and Trauma Surgery, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: No appropriate studies have been conducted that compare the biomechanical properties of different fenestration positions in deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA)-vascularized iliac bone grafts for femoral head necrosis (ONFH) treatment. In this study, we aimed to explore the fenestration locations of DCIA-vascularized iliac grafting in ONFH treatment using FEA and clinical retrospective analysis.
Methods: We simulated an iliac bone flap transplantation with a vascularized tip by finite element analysis (FEA).
