Objectives: Aim of the pilot trial was to evaluate applicability and effects of directly autotransplanted tibial bone marrow (BM) aspirates on the incorporation of porous bovine bone mineral in a sinus lift model and on the osseointegration of dental implants.
Material And Methods: Six edentulous patients with bilaterally severely resorbed maxillae requiring sinus augmentation and implant treatment were included. During surgery, tibial BM was harvested and added to bone substitute material (Bio-Oss(®) ) at the randomly selected test site. At control sites, augmentation was performed with Bio-Oss(®) alone. The cellular content of each BM aspirate was checked for multipotency and surface antigen expression as quality control. Histomorphometric analysis of biopsies from the augmented sites after 3 and 6 months (during implantation) was used to evaluate effects on bone regeneration. Osseointegration of implants was evaluated with Periotest(®) and radiographic means.
Results: Multipotent cellular content in tibial BM aspirates was comparable to that in punctures from the iliac crest. No significant difference in amount of new bone formation and the integration of bone substitute particles was detected histomorphometrically. Periotest(®) values and radiographs showed successful osseointegration of inserted implants at all sites.
Conclusion: Directly autotransplanted tibial BM aspirates did not show beneficial regenerative effects in the small study population (N = 6) of the present pilot trial. However, the proximal tibia proved to be a potential donor site for small quantities of BM. Future trials should clarify whether concentration of tibial BM aspirates could effect higher regenerative potency.

Treating a Scar-Tethered Median Nerve Neuroma in Continuity With a Fly-Over Nerve Grafting Technique.

Article Synopsis
- Peripheral nerve neuromas can be difficult to treat, particularly when they are scar-tethered to important structures.
- A patient with delayed neurotmesis of the median and ulnar nerves had significant scarring near the repaired brachial artery.
- To restore the median nerve continuity, surgeons opted to leave the scarred segment in place and used a "fly-over" graft technique with sural nerve autografts to avoid damaging the artery.
Prospective comparison of two different surgical technique in the treatment of deep osteochondral lesions of the talus: mosaicplasty versus all-arthroscopic technique with scaffold and autograft bone taken from the tibial plafond.

Introduction: There are various surgical techniques applied for the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). The mosaicplasty technique is one of the most commonly used methods for deep lesions. The all-arthroscopic technique with scaffold and autograft bone taken from the tibial plafond is a novel method as an alternative to the mosaicplasty.

Resource-limited burn centers are usually devoid of cultured epithelial autografts (CEA) owing largely to prohibitive costs. A modified CEA technique at our burn center incorporated cost-effective, routinely-used dressings with favorable outcomes. One unknown concern was the immunosuppressive effect that extensive burns and potentially human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection may have on graft take.

September 2024
Division of Hand and Microvascular Surgery, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Article Synopsis
- Autografts are the preferred method for reconstructing peripheral mixed motor/sensory nerves, as they consistently provide better results than allografts.
- Nerve allografts have shown variable success in studies, particularly problematic for motor reinnervation, which restricts their clinical use to smaller sensory nerve defects under 3 cm.
- The scoping review seeks to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of both autograft and allograft methods in basic science experiments and clinical practices for repairing mixed motor/sensory nerves.
Development of Biomaterials for Addressing Upper Extremity Peripheral Nerve Gaps.

Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, FL.
Article Synopsis
- Peripheral nerve injuries in the upper extremities can significantly impair function and lower quality of life, prompting the need for effective treatments.
- Traditional nerve repair methods, like autografts, have downsides such as donor site morbidity, leading to interest in using biomaterials as alternatives.
- This review discusses the evolution, current usage, benefits, challenges, and future prospects of biomaterials in nerve regeneration, highlighting their transformative potential in improving clinical outcomes.
