Free vascularized femoral condyle bone graft in treatment of tubular bone nonunions

Vascularised bone graft from femoral condyles - are relatively new method in treatment of bone nonunions, small bone defects and loss of articular cartilage. In this article experience of using of vascularized bone grafts from medial and lateral femoral condyles, operation technique and clinical cases with long-term results were described. In conclusion, authors generated basic indications for free vascularized bone grafts from femoral condyles.

The scaphoid is the most common fractured bone in the wrist. Despite adequate non-surgical treatment, around 10% to 15% of these fractures will not heal. Untreated scaphoid non-union can cause a scaphoid non-union advance collapse (SNAC), this is a progressive deformity and can cause degenerative changes in the wrist. Surgery is focused on achieving consolidation, pain reduction and a good position of the scaphoid while preventing osteoarthritis in the long-term. Surgery consists of reduction and fixation of the scaphoid with a non-vascularized or vascularized bone graft. An overview of the most used vascularized and non-vascularized bone grafts and their indications are presented.

Autogenous Bone Grafts

Abstract Autogenous bone grafts are commonly used for reconstruction of the deficient maxillary alveolar ridge. Mandibular ramus, symphysis, extraction sites, and retromolar sites are the most common sources for harvesting autogenous bone grafts from intraoral regions. Several authors have used computerized tomography (CT) to evaluate the dimensional change of bone graft, but there are limited reports evaluating donor sites for autogenous bone. In this report, 2 patients were treated with autogenous bone graft from the mandibular symphysis. Postoperative CT scans were used to evaluate the radiographic change in the symphyseal area. The patients treated with autogenous bone showed uneventful healing at the donor and recipient sites and good acceptance of the procedure. At the final evaluation, CT analysis demonstrated a persisting radiolucency in the donor area, even though the defect size was reduced. Further evaluation may be needed to evaluate the progress of remineralization and long-term results.
