Abstract Autogenous bone grafting and third-molar removal are surgical procedures routinely performed in dentistry on a daily basis. The purpose of this preliminary report is to describe our clinical experience with the Er, Cr:YSGG laser in the procurement of bone harvested from the ramus and removal of third molars simultaneously from the mandible.

Autogenous bone grafting is an important part of many foot and ankle surgical procedures. Although alternative bone graft materials such as allogeneic bone are available, autogenous bone continues to be the material of choice for many procedures. The calcaneus provides a source of small amounts of autogenous corticocancellous or cancellous bone. The author describes the surgical technique for procurement of calcaneal bone grafts. Twenty-five cases are reviewed. The morbidity associated with procuring calcaneal bone grafts is favorably compared with that associated with procuring bone from other donor sites.

Background Isolated capitate nonunion is rare. No consensus on the appropriate treatment for this condition exists. Case Description We reported two cases of capitate fracture nonunion presenting several months after untreated high-impact wrist trauma. Treatment was delayed as both patients' nonunions were missed on conventional radiographs. Both were ultimately diagnosed with advanced imaging and successfully treated with internal fixation and autogenous bone grafting. The relevant literature pertaining to capitate nonunion was reviewed. Literature Review Immobilization and internal fixation with bone grafting for capitate nonunion have been described in the literature. Loss of vascular supply and progression to avascular necrosis is a concern after capitate nonunion. Clinical Relevance We present two cases and review the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of this rare injury to guide management. Internal fixation with autogenous bone grafting could play a role in management for this rare condition.
