Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Grafting Procedures

Background:

  • The anterior iliac crest is a frequently utilized donor site for autogenous bone grafts in maxillofacial surgery.
  • Assessing the morbidity associated with harvesting bone from the inner table of the anterior iliac crest is crucial for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively evaluate the morbidity and patient satisfaction following bone harvesting from the inner table of the anterior iliac crest.
  • To determine the suitability of this donor site for reconstructive purposes in maxillofacial surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study involving 65 patients who underwent iliac crest bone harvesting.
  • Evaluation of morbidity and patient satisfaction through medical record review, mail-in questionnaires, and standardized physical examinations 1-4 years post-procedure.

Main Results:

  • The bone harvesting procedure demonstrated good patient acceptance.
  • Low morbidity rates were observed in patients following bone harvesting from the anterior iliac crest.

Conclusions:

  • Bone harvesting from the inner table of the anterior iliac crest is a viable and advantageous option for reconstructing bone defects.
  • The procedure is associated with favorable outcomes and patient satisfaction, supporting its use in maxillofacial procedures.
