Bone grafts have been predominated used to treat bone defects, delayed union or non-union, and spinal fusion in orthopaedic clinically for a period of time, despite the emergency of synthetic bone graft substitutes. Nevertheless, the integration of allogeneic grafts and synthetic substitutes with hos...
ObjectivesTo compare autogenous bone (AT) and fresh-frozen allogeneic bone (AL) in terms of histomorphometrical graft incorporation and implant osseointegration after grafting for lateral ridge augmentation in humans.Materials and methodsThirty-four patients were treated with either AL (20 patients) or ...
Will the Sinus Lift or Bone Graft Hurt? Though some people experience sensitivity or pressure around the extraction site and the implant and sinus lift location, most feel no discomfort at all. We will put you on a precautionary antibiotic and ma...
Systems and methods for retaining bone graft material in an interbody implant system are provided. In one embodiment of the invention, there is provided an interbody implant system comprising an implant device and at least one sliding bone cap device. The implant device includes a body defining a...
An ideal bone graft material must have all of the physiologic properties of autogenous bone: it must be biocompatible, bioresorbable, osteoconductive, and osteoinductive. The material would be easy to use and handle, must be safe, and should be cost-effective. For bone substitutes, the material...
Despite the recent advances in the development of bone graft substitutes, treatment of critical size bone defects continues to be a significant challenge, especially in the elderly population. A current approach to overcome this challenge involves the cr
Bone and Tendon Graft Substitutes and Adjuncts: Information in the [brackets] below has been added for clarification purposes. Codes requiring a 7th character are represented by "+": CodeCode Description CPT codes not covered for indications listed in the CPB: 0565T Autologous cellular implant deri...
BACKGROUND: Bone filling materials have good bioactivity, biocompatibility, biological safety and mechanical properties, and can induce formation of new bones to realize a self-repair of bones. This kind of material is an efficient, safe, cost-effective bone substitute, and can be used as repair...
Recent advances in materials and manufacturing processes have allowed the fabrication of intricate implant surfaces to facilitate bony attachment. However, refinement and evaluation of these new design strategies are hindered by the cost and complications of animal studies, particularly during early iteration...
