Bone grafting, its principle and application: A review. Osteol Rheumatol Open J. 2020; 1(1): 43-50. doi: 10.17140/ORHOJ-1-113 ABSTRACT Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone through transferring bone cells from a donor to the recipient site and the graft could be from a patient’s own body, an artificial, synthetic, or natural substitute. Bone grafts and bone graft substitutes are indicated for a variety of orthopedic abnormalities such as comminuted fractures (due to car accidents, falling from a height or gunshot injury), delayed unions, non-unions, arthrodesis, osteomyelitis and congenital diseases (rickets, abnormal bone development) and are used to provide structural support and enhance bone healing. Autogenous, allogeneic, and artificial bone grafts are common types and sources of grafts and the advancement of allografts, synthetic bone grafts, and new operative techniques may have influenced the use of bone grafts in recent years. -

Clinical Considerations in Facial Transplantation
CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN FACIAL TRANSPLANTATION by Anthony Renshaw A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of University College London for the degree of Doctor of Medicine January 2011 Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Academic Division of Surgical & Interventional Sciences, University College London 1 Declaration I, Anthony Renshaw, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis The copyright of this thesis rests with the author and no quotation from it or information derived from it may be published without the prior written consent of the author. …………………………………………………………. 2 Abstract Facial transplantation has emerged as the next step on the reconstructive ladder for severe facial disfigurement. Clinical issues surrounding facial tissue donation are examined, comprising pre-transplant facial vessel delineation; pre-operative aesthetic matching; and attitudes towards donation. An anatomical study of 200 consecutive facial and transverse facial vessels was performed using colour Doppler ultrasound. Facial vessels were measured at three landmarks and their branching pattern documented. The facial artery main branch was detected at the lower mandibular border in 99.5% of cases, the accompanying facial vein in 97.5%. The transverse facial artery was present in 75.5% of cases, the vein found in 58%. When the facial artery was undetectable, there was transverse facial artery dominance. When the facial vein was absent it was replaced with a transverse facial vein. This provides valuable pre-operative information regarding vessel status. A quantitative eleven- point skin tonal matching scheme is described using digital analysis of facial imagery. -

Consent for Bone Grafting
Consent for Bone Grafting Grafting Procedure: __________________________________________________________________________ I understand that bone grafting and barrier membrane procedures include inherent risks such as, but not limited to the following: 1. Pain. Some discomfort is inherent in any oral surgery procedure. Grafting with materials that do not have to be harvested from your body is less painful because they do not require a donor site surgery, but pos-toperative pain is still likely. It can be largely controlled with pain medications and applying a cold compression to the surgical site. 2. Infection. No matter how carefully surgical sterility is maintained, it is possible, because of the existing non-sterile oral environment, for infections to occur post-operatively. At times these may be a serious nature. Should severe swelling occur, particularly accompanied with fever or malaise, professional attention should be received as soon as possible. 3. Bleeding, bruising, and swelling. Some moderate bleeding may last several hours. If profuse, you must contact us as soon as possible. Some swelling is normal, but if severe, you should notify us. Swelling usually starts to subside after about 48 hours. Bruises may persist for a week or so. 4. Loss of all or part of the graft. Success with bone and membrane grafting is high. Nevertheless, it is possible that the graft could fail. Despite meticulous surgery, particulate bone graft materials can migrate out of the surgery site and be lost. A membrane graft could start to dislodge. If so, the doctor should be notified. You compliance is essential to assure success. 5. Types of graft material. -

The complexities of XTP encompass immunology, immunosuppression, physiology, technology (genetic engineering and cloning), microbiology, and animal/human relations. As a result of these controversies, the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Australia, formed the Xenotransplantation Working Party (XWP) in 2001. The XWP was designed to advise the NHMRC on XTP, if and how it should proceed in Australia, and to provide draft regulatory guidelines. During the period -

Diese Tagung schloss an die Vorjahresveranstaltung an, die das Thema Von Menschenhandel und Menschenpreisen behandelt hat.1 Während damals der Mensch als Ganzes in seiner Rolle als Sklave/Slavin, Gefangene(r), potentielles Unfallopfer oder Patient(in) im Mittelpunkt stand, ging es diesmal gezielt um den Körper oder Teile des- selben. Solche Körperteile waren immer schon begehrt, heute vielleicht am stärksten in der Medizin, wenn Organe oder Gewebe längst ganz real und teils sogar offen gehandelt werden, oder in der Versicherungswirtschaft, wo ganz natürlich und je nach Bedarf und Bewertung auch Teile von Menschen gegen Schäden versichert werden, wie z.B. die Stimmbänder von Opernsänger(inne)n, die Nasen von Weinkenner(inne)n, die Beine von Fußballern oder der Busen von Popsängerinnen. -
