Object. Autologous bone graft harvesting from the iliac crest remains the gold standard for fusion surgery. One disadvantage of autologous bone harvesting is the patient's enduring postoperative pain at the donor site. Nerve injury is one of the postulated mechanisms that may account for this pain. The object of this study was to determine whether the lateral cutaneous branch of the subcostal nerve is vulnerable to injury in the process of obtaining grafts from the anterior iliac crest. Methods. Anatomical dissections were performed on 10 cadaveric specimens to ascertain the size of the T-12 subcostal nerve and its position in relation to the iliac crest. Conclusions. The lateral cutaneous branch of the subcostal nerve may lie as close as 6 cm from the anterior superior iliac spine. This nerve is very vulnerable to injury when harvesting bone from the anterior iliac crest. Knowledge of the anatomy may decrease the risk of injury to this nerve.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the complications following calcaneal autologous bone graft harvesting using an osteotome in patients who underwent foot and ankle surgery with follow-up of at least 1 year. Methods: In a cohort study, all consecutive patients underwent forefoot or midfoot surgeries in conjunction with harvesting bone graft from the calcaneus using lateral wall corticotomy technique by an osteotome from 2015 till 2018 were asked to follow. The outcome and morbidity were assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) pain, numbness in territory of the sural nerve, surgical site numbness or tenderness, infection, hematoma formation, or pathologic fracture. Also any possible restrictions on wearing desired shoes were asked. Results: Totally, 50 patients (11 males, 39 females; 29 right foot, 21 left foot) with the mean age of 48.2 ± 13.8 years (range 8-66 years) were assessed. There were no major complications on donor site such as infection, hematoma formation, or pathologic fracture. The following results were seen; 90% without any pain (VAS 0/10), 96% without numbness at the incision site, 96% without point tenderness on lateral of heel, 98% without paresthesia or numbness in the sural nerve territory, and 84% were able to wear their favorite shoes. Forty-one (82%) cases said if they need another foot surgery, they would permit to harvest bone graft from their heel. Conclusions: Autologous bone graft harvesting from the calcaneus using lateral wall corticotomy technique by an osteotome could be a useful method with very low complications.

Aims Various surgical techniques have been described for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with Crowe type III dislocated hips, who have a large acetabular bone defect. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical results of patients in whom anatomical reconstruction of the acetabulum was performed using a cemented acetabular component and autologous bone graft from the femoral neck. Methods A total of 22 patients with Crowe type III dislocated hips underwent 28 THAs using bone graft from the femoral neck between 1979 and 2000. A Charnley cemented acetabular component was placed at the level of the true acetabulum after preparation with bone grafting. All patients were female with a mean age at the time of surgery of 54 years (35 to 68). A total of 18 patients (21 THAs) were followed for a mean of 27.2 years (20 to 33) after the operation. Results Radiographs immediately after surgery showed a mean vertical distance from the centre of the hip to the teardrop line of 21.5 mm (SD 3.3; 14.5 to 30.7) and a mean cover of the acetabular component by bone graft of 46% (SD 6%; 32% to 60%). All bone grafts united without collapse, and only three acetabular components loosened. The rate of survival of the acetabular component with mechanical loosening or revision as the endpoint was 86.4% at 25 years after surgery. Conclusion The technique of using autologous bone graft from the femoral neck and placing a cemented acetabular component in the true acetabulum can provide good long-term outcomes in patients with Crowe type III dislocated hips.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of patients younger than 20 years, treated with the arthroscopic-talus autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AT-AMIC) technique and autologous bone graft for osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT). Methods: Eleven patients under 20 years (range 13.3-20.0) underwent the AT-AMIC procedure and autologous bone graft for OLTs. Patients were evaluated preoperatively (T0) and at 6 (T1), 12 (T2), and 24 (T3) months postoperatively, using the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Ankle and Hindfoot (AOFAS) score, the visual analog scale and the SF-12 respectively in its Mental and Physical Component Scores. Radiologic assessment included computed tomographic (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intraoperative measurement of the lesion. A multivariate statistical analysis was performed. Results: Mean lesion size measured during surgery was 1.1 cm3 ± 0.5 cm3. We found a significant difference in clinical and radiologic parameters with analysis of variance for repeated measures ( P < .001). All clinical scores significantly improved ( P < .05) from T0 to T3. Lesion area significantly reduced from 119.1 ± 29.1 mm2 preoperatively to 77.9 ± 15.8 mm2 ( P < .05) at final follow-up as assessed by CT, and from 132.2 ± 31.3 mm2 to 85.3 ± 14.5 mm2 ( P < .05) as assessed by MRI. Moreover, we noted an important correlation between intraoperative size of the lesion and body mass index (BMI) ( P = .011). Conclusions: The technique can be considered safe and effective with early good results in young patients. Moreover, we demonstrated a significant correlation between BMI and lesion size and a significant impact of OLTs on quality of life. Level of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series.
