[Analysis of reconstruction using non-vascularized iliac bone graft for patients with mandibular defects]
1Dept. of Stomatology, The Second Hospital Affiliated to Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730030, China.
Objective:
To make a clinical retrospective analysis of reconstruction using autogenous non-vascularized iliac bone graft for patients with mandibular defects, and then to evaluate the treatment effectiveness and operation announcements of this method.
Methods:
34 patients who were suffered from discontinued mandibule because of tumor or trauma, were treated with autogenous non-vascularized iliac bone graft. The surgery technique, postoperative outcomes and complications were analyzed.
Results:
In 34 patients adopted non-vascularized iliac bone graft, 31 patients adopted rigid internal fixation with titanium mini plate, 3 patients with bridging titanium plate. 27 bone grafts survived completely, the overall success rate was 79.41%. 3(8.82%) of the bone grafts healed after infection, 4(11.76%) bone grafts lost because of infection.
Conclusion:
The autogenous non-vascularized iliac bone graft is one of the most important way for the reconstruction of mandibular defects. The methods of internal fixation includes titanium mini pate and bridging titanium plate.
