Abstract

Autologous bone grafts are believed to be the method of choice in the reconstruction of limited mandibular defects and in the reconstruction of the bone defects of the middle and upper part of the face. Autologous bone is an excellent osteoconductive material and is very rarely rejected by the body. The most frequent donor region is crista illiaca. Cortical bone and cancellous bone can be used as a free bone flap.
In this study we present the application of autologous cancellous hip bone in the following cases:
• Osteoplasty of the alveolar ridge in children with
shisis.
• Correction of the forehead contour after maxillectomy.
• Reconstruction of mandibular defects.
The patients were followed during one year after osteoplasty.
The success of the implementation of bone grafts was verified with clinical findings, X-rays, in cases of mandibular reconstruction, with pathohistological verification after the removal of the OS material.
Apart from a small scar, there was no other damage to the donor region.
Osteoplasty with autologous cancellous hip bone graft represents a golden standard in properly chosen indications.
