Abstract
OBJECTIVE To introduce the method and experience of treating critical-sized tibial bone defect by taking large iliac crest bone graft. METHODS From January 2020 to January 2022, iliac crest bone grafting was performed in 20 patients (10 men and 10 women) with critical-sized tibial bone defect. The mean length of bone defect was 13.59 ± 3.41. Bilateral iliac crest grafts were harvested, including the inner and outer plates of the iliac crest and iliac spine. The cortical bone screw was used to integrate two iliac bone blocks into one complex. Locking plate was used to fix the graft-host complex, supplemented with reconstruction plate to increase stability when necessary. Bone healing was evaluated by cortical bone fusion on radiographs at follow-up, iliac pain was assessed by VAS score, and lower limb function was assessed by ODI score. Complications were also taken into consideration. RESULTS The average follow-up time was 27.4 ± 5.6 (Range 24-33 months), the mean VAS score was 8.8 ± 1.9, the mean ODI score was 11.1 ± 1.8, and the number of cortical bone fusion in the bone graft area was 3.5 ± 0.5. Satisfactory fusion was obtained in all cases of iliac bone transplant-host site. No nonunion, shift or fracture was found in all cases. No infection and bone resorption were observed that need secondary surgery. One patient had dorsiflexion weakness of the great toe. Hypoesthesia of the dorsal foot was observed in 2 patients. Ankle stiffness and edema occurred in 3 patients. Complications were significantly improved by physical therapy and rehabilitation training. CONCLUSION For the cases of critical-sized tibial bone defect, the treatment methods are various. In this paper, we have obtained satisfactory results by using large iliac bone graft to treat bone defect. This approach can not only restore the integrity of the tibia, but also obtain good stability with internal fixation, and operation skills are more acceptable for surgeons. Therefore, it provides an alternative surgical method for clinicians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteopetrosis comprises a group of inherited disorders that are rare and result in abnormal bone structure. Bone remodeling is extremely inhibited because osteoclasts are nonfunctional or lacking. This condition causes overgrowth of bone with disappearance of the bone marrow, leading to aplastic anemia; obstruction of nerve passages in the skull leads to blindness and often hearing impairment. In most cases, osteopetrosis results in oral complications such as tooth deformation, hypomineralization, and delayed or absent tooth eruption. The only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The main treatment of the oral complications during childhood and adolescence consists in protecting the erupted teeth against caries disease through prophylactic treatment aimed at optimal oral hygiene through frequent regular dental visits throughout life. Many patients with osteopetrosis require major oral rehabilitation to treat complications of the disease. Improved results of HSCT increase the likelihood that dental professionals will encounter patients with osteopetrosis. CASE PRESENTATION In this case report, we show that individuals with osteopetrosis who have severe oral complications can be treated successfully if they are treated for osteopetrosis at an early age. The boy had his dental care in pedodontics, and regular multidisciplinary meetings were held for future treatment planning. At the age of 15, he was then referred for rehabilitation. The initial evaluations revealed no further growth in the alveolar bone. The rehabilitation was done stepwise, with extraction of malformed and malpositioned teeth. Initially, the patient received a removable partial denture followed by reconstruction of the width of the alveolar process, titanium implants, temporary fixed bridges, and finally screw-retained titanium-ceramic bridges with titanium frames for the upper and lower jaws. CONCLUSIONS The three-year follow-up after loading indicated a stable marginal bone level and optimal oral hygiene as a result of frequent professional oral hygiene care. The patient showed no signs of symptoms from the temporomandibular joint and has adapted to the new jaw relation without any functional or phonetical issues.

Abstract
Bone loss has been identified as a risk factor for recurrent shoulder dislocations or failure after soft tissue repair. Although the range for "critical" bone loss is yet to be determined, glenoid and humeral bone defects should not be regarded as independent problems, but the interaction between them during shoulder motion should be evaluated as suggested by the glenoid track concept. The glenoid track concept is now widely accepted and considered essential for making decisions about surgery. Soft-tissue procedures usually work well in patients with on-track Hill-Sachs lesions but in off-track lesions do not. In this situation additional procedures should be performed.Different surgical options have been described to address off-track Hill-Sachs lesions, most commonly remplissage, Latarjet or free bone block procedures. Coracoid graft and free bone grafts convert the off-track Hill-Sachs lesion into on-track by lengthening the glenoid-track, whereas remplissage fill-in the humeral lesion so that it does not engage. In the setting of a Hill-Sachs lesion with little or no glenoid bone loss, remplissage has demonstrated satisfactory outcomes with a low complications and recurrence rate. Favorable results have been reported with glenoid bone grafting when managing isolated Hill-Sachs or bipolar lesions. Studies analyzing Latarjet and Eden-Hybinette procedures show that both procedures are safe and effective in the management of anterior glenohumeral instability. Attention should be paid to those patients with large bone defects not amenable to be restored with an isolated Latarjet that may be better addressed with an Eden-Hybinnete or adding a remplissage to the Latarjet procedure.

Abstract
Metacarpal nonunion is a rare outcome of metacarpal injury, and little has been published about its management. Care typically includes open reduction and internal fixation with a possible bone graft, similar to the treatment of other nonunions. However, there is no literature guidance if traditional methods do not lead to union. To improve the treatment of these recalcitrant metacarpal diaphyseal nonunions, we proposed a new surgical technique using a "top hat" bone graft harvested from the iliac crest. The graft is carefully shaped to create a cancellous "crown," which is inserted into the nonunion site, and cortical "brims," which are used to secure the graft to the metacarpal. This has been successful in treating 2 cases of metacarpal nonunion that failed to heal with first-line intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tibial nonunion remains a considerable burden for patients and the surgeons who treat them. In recent years, alternatives to autogenous grafts for the treatment of tibial nonunions have been sought. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) in the treatment of tibial shaft nonunions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-nine patients were identified who underwent ICBG for repair of atrophic or oligotrophic tibial nonunion and had complete data with at least one year of follow-up (mean 27.9 months). Surgical treatments consisted of revision/supplemental fixation ± ICBG. Surgical approaches for graft placement were either posterolateral (PL), anterolateral (AL), or direct medial (DM). Healing status, time to union, postoperative pain, and functional outcomes were assessed. RESULTS Bony union was achieved by 97.1% (67/69) of patients at a mean time of 7.8 ± 3.2 months postoperatively. There was no significant difference in mean time to union between the three surgical approach groups: (PL (44.9%) = 7.3 months, AL (20.3%) = 9.2 months, DM (34.8%) = 7.6 months; p = 0.22). Intraoperative cultures obtained at the time of nonunion surgery were positive in 27.5% of patients (19/69). Positive cultures were associated with need for secondary surgery as 8/19 patients (42.1%) with positive cultures required re-operation. Two out of four patients that developed iliac donor site hematomas/infections requiring washout had positive intraoperative cultures as well. There was no difference in final SMFA among the three surgical approach groups. CONCLUSIONS Autogenous ICBG remains the gold standard in the management of persistent tibial nonunions regardless of surgical approach. There is a small risk for complication at the iliac crest donor site. Given the high union rate, autogenous iliac crest bone grafting for tibial nonunion remains the gold standard for this difficult condition. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
PURPOSE Screw fixation with iliac crest bone grafting (ICBG) is a well-studied treatment for pediatric scaphoid nonunions. Studies in adults, as well as in pediatric spine fusions, have demonstrated high rates of complications with ICBG, including longer-term donor site pain. We hypothesized that in pediatric patients undergoing ICBG for scaphoid nonunion, the donor site complication rate would be lower than that reported in other populations. METHODS Records of patients ages 0-18 years at a single institution undergoing surgical reconstruction for scaphoid nonunion from 1995 to 2016 were reviewed. Patient and surgical variables were recorded, including how ICBG was harvested. Donor site complications were recorded, including donor site pain beyond 30 days after surgery, infection, peri-incisional or lower extremity numbness at any point after surgery and reoperation at the donor site at any time point after surgery. RESULTS During the study period, 119 wrists in 117 patients underwent internal fixation and ICBG for scaphoid nonunion. The average age was 16 years; mean follow-up was 1 year. The majority of wrists (73, 62.9%) underwent harvest of both outer and inner tables of the iliac crest; 38 (31.9%) had only outer table harvested; 5 (4.3%) had only cancellous graft harvested. Ten wrists (8.4%) had a donor site complication. The most common donor site complication was donor site pain beyond 30 days after surgery (5, 4.2%), followed by numbness (4, 3.4%). No infections, seromas, or reoperations at the donor site occurred. In comparison to those subjects who did not experience complications, we found no difference based on the age at surgery or the type of graft used. Female patients were more likely to have a recorded complication than males. CONCLUSIONS Donor site morbidity for iliac crest grafting in pediatric patients undergoing scaphoid nonunion surgery appears to be lower than that previously reported in adult patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the effect of demineralized cortical fibers (DCF) on postoperative pseudarthrosis requiring revision surgery in patients undergoing pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) for adult spinal deformity (ASD). METHODS The use of DCF was introduced across all procedures in 2017 and subsequent patients undergoing PSO surgery were prospectively and consecutively registered. Following sample-size estimation, a retrospective cohort was also registered undergoing the same procedure immediately prior to the implementation of DCF. The non-DCF group underwent surgery with ABG. Minimum follow-up was 2 years in both groups. The main outcome was postoperative pseudarthrosis, either CT-verified or verified intraoperatively during revision surgery due to rod breakage and assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analyses. RESULTS A total of 48 patients were included in the DCF group and 76 in the non-DCF group. The DCF group had more frequently undergone previous spine surgery (60% vs 36%) and had shorter follow-up (32 ± 2 vs 40 ± 7 months). Pseudarthrosis occurred in 7 (15%) patients in the DCF group and 31 (41%) in the non-DCF group, corresponding to a relative risk increase of 2.6 (95%CI 1.3-2.4, P < 0.01). 1-KM survival analyses, taking time to event into account and thus the difference in follow-up, also showed increased pseudarthrosis in the non-DCF group (log-rank P = 0.022). Similarly, multivariate logistic regression adjusted for age, instrumented levels and sacral fusion was also with significantly increased odds of pseudarthrosis in the non-DCF group (OR: 4.3, 95%CI: 1.7-11.3, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION We found considerable and significant reductions in pseudarthrosis following PSO surgery with DCF compared to non-DCF. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of fracture nonunion repair with autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) under regional anesthesia alone or in combination with other techniques compared to other anesthesia techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Overall, 137 patients were identified who underwent ICBG as part of a repair of a long bone fracture nonunion between January 1, 2013 and October 1, 2020. Surgical and anesthetic records were reviewed to classify patients by anesthesia type. General, spinal, and regional anesthetics were used as either the primary anesthetic or as a combination of regional nerve block with general or spinal anesthesia. RESULTS Administration of regional anesthesia alone or in combination with general or spinal anesthesia (RA) and general or spinal anesthesia only (GS) groups differed in nonunion site distribution (p < 0.001). RA patients were discharged the same day more often than GS patients (30.9% vs 10.0%, p = 0.009) and experienced fewer postoperative complications (p = 0.021). The RA group achieved union sooner than the GS group (by 5.3 ± 3.2 months vs. by 6.8 ± 3.2 months, p = 0.006). Mean morphine equivalent dose was similar between groups (p = 0.23). Regional anesthesia use increased from 2013 to 2020, and same day discharge surgeries simultaneously increased over the same time period. CONCLUSION Regional anesthesia use increased in nonunion repair surgery with ICBG from 2013 to 2020. This was associated with an increase in same day discharge, sooner time to union, and decreased postoperative complications. There was not a need for increased opioid prescription in patients that underwent regional anesthesia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Glenoid augmentation using free bone blocks for anterior shoulder instability has been proposed as an alternative to or bail-out for the Latarjet procedure. The purpose of this investigation was to systematically review and compare outcomes of patients undergoing glenoid augmentation using free bone block autografts versus allografts. METHODS A systematic review using PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases was performed in line with the PRISMA statement. Studies reporting outcomes of patients treated with free bone block procedures for anterior shoulder instability with minimum 2-year follow-up were included. Random effects modelling was used to compare patient-reported outcomes, return to sports, recurrent instability, non-instability related complications, and development of arthritis between free bone block autografts and allografts. RESULTS Eighteen studies comprising of 623 patients met the inclusion criteria for this investigation. There were six studies reporting on the use of allografts (of these, two used distal tibial, three iliac crest, and one femoral head allograft) in 173 patients and twelve studies utilizing autografts (of these, ten used iliac crest and two used free coracoid autograft) in 450 patients. Mean age was 28.7 ± 4.1 years for the allograft group and 27.8 ± 3.8 years for the autograft group (n.s). Mean follow-up was 98 months in autograft studies and 50.8 months for allograft studies (range 24-444 months, n.s). Overall mean increase in Rowe score was 56.2 with comparable increases between autografts and allografts (n.s). Pooled recurrent instability rates were 3% (95% CI, 1-7%; I2 = 77%) and did not differ between the groups (n.s). Arthritic progression was evident in 11% of autografts (95% CI, 2-27%; I2 = 90%) and 1% (95% CI, 0-8%; I2 = 63%) of allografts (n.s). The overall incidence of non-instability related complications was 5% (95% CI, 2-10%; I2 = 81%) and was similar between the groups (n.s). Pooled return to sports rate was 88% (95% CI, 76-96%; I2 = 76%). CONCLUSION Glenoid augmentation using free bone block autograft or allograft in the setting of recurrent anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss is effective and safe. Outcomes and complication incidence using autografts and allografts were comparable. Due to the high degree of heterogeneity in the data and outcomes reported in available studies, which consist primarily of retrospective case series, future prospective trials investigating long-term outcomes using free bone block autograft versus allograft for anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss are warranted.

Abstract
Background The iliac crest is one of the most used bone graft sources. In this study, we aimed to identify the effects of inner side and two-sided approaches for iliac crest bone harvesting on post-surgery ilium growth in children. Materials and methods We retrospectively analyzed 47 patients who underwent pelvic osteotomy and iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) procedures from January 2015 to September 2018. The patients were divided into an inner table ilium exposure group (group A) and the inner-outer table ilium exposure group (group B) and were followed up with radiography in postoperative months 1, 3, 6, and 12, and the growth areas were measured using PACS software. Complications such as damage to the arteries or nerves, ureteral injury, gastrointestinal hernia, ileus, abnormal cosmetic appearance, sensory disturbances, and functional limitations were recorded based on clinical records. Results There were 22 patients aged 5.3±1.5 years in group A and 25 patients aged 5.9±1.8 years in group B. There were no significant differences in demographics between the two groups, or in growth in the first month. However, bone graft growth at months 3, 6, and 12 was significantly better in group A than in group B. There was no significant difference in complications between the two groups. Conclusion Exposure of only the inner table of the ilium resulted in faster recovery of the bone defect than two-sided exposure in pelvic osteotomy. Therefore, we suggest protecting the outer side of the ilium during surgery. Level of evidence Level III

Abstract
Introduction Significant glenoid bone loss contributes to recurrent anterior shoulder instability. Reconstruction using an iliac crest bone graft provides an anatomic restoration of the glenohumeral arc. We present a case series of an all-arthroscopic glenoid bone reconstruction using iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) with a double cannulated screw fixation technique. Materials and methods This is a retrospective study from 2012 to 2017. Patient selection was based on Instability Severity Index Score (ISIS) of greater than 3 points and the presence of glenoid bone defect of more than 20% surface area. The ICBG was harvested from the ipsilateral hip and delivered arthroscopically to the deficient glenoid. The bone graft was then fixed with two cannulated screws. All patients were evaluated at 0, 6, 12 and 24 months for range of motion, isometric strength, pain score, and functional outcome scores: Constant-Murley Score (CMSO), Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), and UCLA Shoulder Score. Results 7 patients (6 males, 1 female) with the mean age of 40.2 years and mean glenoid bone loss of 41.8% were included. At 24 months, the mean active flexion improved from 119 to 143° (p = 0.128) and active abduction improved from 112 to 138° (p = 0.063). Isometric strength increased from 14.7 to 17.6lbs (p = 0.345). All functional scores showed significant improvement (p < 0.05), where CMSO increased from 66.9 to 81.4; OSS 17.4 to 31.4, and UCLA score 23.5 to 32.1. Pain score improved from 4 to 0.5. Bone graft incorporation was confirmed for all the cases and none had recurrent instability. One patient required screw removal for screw cutout. Conclusion Our mid-term results for an all-arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction using ICBG demonstrated good clinical result with minimal complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the radiologic union rates between autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) and local bone graft in 1- to 3-level lumbar fusion. METHODS We reviewed 178 consecutive patients who underwent 1- to 3-level lumbar fusion surgery because of lumbar spinal stenosis. Fusion status of the anterior or posterior column was evaluated by plain radiographs obtained at 24 months postoperatively. If at least either the anterior or posterior column was fused, that segment was regarded as having achieved fusion and was termed segment union. The definition of overall union was achieving union of all segments in a single patient. RESULTS For each ICBG group and local bone graft group, fusion rate of the anterior and posterior column, and rate of the segments and overall union at postoperative 2 years were not different between the groups, regardless of surgery level. In the overall union rate according to the fusion level, the ICBG group showed constant overall fusion rate according to the fusion level (i.e., 96.9%, 96.9%, and 93.1% for 1-, 2-, and 3-level fusion), but tended to decrease with increasing level in the local bone graft group (100%, 95.8%, and 85.7% for 1-, 2-, and 3-level fusion, respectively) without statistically significant differences. CONCLUSIONS The union rate of 3-level fusion was not inferior to those of 1- or 2-level fusion in both ICBG and local bone graft patients. Local bone graft could be regarded as an adequate option for not only 1- or 2-level lumbar fusion but also 3-level lumbar fusion surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of clinical trials have been published assessing the role of iliac crest bone grafting for the management of recurrent anterior instability with glenoid bone loss in contemporary practice. We therefore performed a systematic review of contemporary literature to examine the effect of iliac crest bone grafting on postoperative outcomes of these patients. Our hypothesis is that contemporary iliac crest bone block techniques are associated with low reoperation and complication rates combined with satisfactory functional results. METHODS The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and EMBASE were searched between January 2008 and December 2019 for relevant publications. RESULTS Following the application of the inclusion-exclusion criteria, nine articles were found eligible for our analysis. In total, 261 patients (mean age range, 25.5-37.5 years; mean follow-up range, 20.6-42 months) were included in the studies of the current review. The mean modified Coleman score was 48.6 (range 37-65), indicating an overall low-to-moderate methodological quality. In the short term, the overall all-cause reoperation rate was 6.1%, while the rate of recurrent instability was 4.8%. The graft non-union rate was 2.2%, while the rate of osteolysis, graft fracture, and infection was 0.4%, 0.9%, and 1.7%, respectively. Finally, hardware-related complications, such as screw breakage or symptomatic mechanical irritation around the screw insertion, occurred in 3.9% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS Iliac crest bone block techniques in contemporary practice are safe and effective in the short-term (< 4 years) follow-up for the management of anterior shoulder instability with substantial glenoid bone deficiency. However, further studies of higher quality and longer follow-up are required to establish the therapeutic value of these techniques as well as to clarify whether there are differences in the outcomes of arthroscopic and open iliac crest bone block procedures.

Abstract
The impact of autologous iliac crest bone graft versus BMP-2 to improve fusion rates for posterolateral fusion (PLF) of the lumbar spine remains unanswered. Single-institution-centered data dominate the literature, providing results that may be contradictory or inconclusive. The aim of this paper is to analyze data pooled from multiple well-controlled studies that examined both ICBG and BMP-2 for use in PLF. This meta-analysis also provides details of success in different subsets of patients with variable risk factors for delayed and non-unions. Six high-quality randomized clinical trials were selected. Efficacy, morbidity, quality of life, and safety were compared between the BMP-2 group and the ICBG group. A total of 908 patients were included in the study. At 24 months, 94% of patients achieved fusion in the BMP-2 group and 83% in the ICBG group. At 6 and 12 months, the fusion was also greater in the BMP-2 group (86% vs. 60% and 88% vs. 80%, respectively). Surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, and hospitalization days also showed significant differences in favor of the experimental group (p < 0.01). There were no differences between two groups in the Oswestry Disability Index, 36-Item Short Form Health Survey and Back Pain Score, whereas a greater number of additional surgical procedures were performed in the ICBG group (p = 0.001). In conclusion, the use of BMP-2 in PLF reduced the surgical morbidity and had more beneficial effects on the fusion rate. The quality of life based on clinical scores was the same in both groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The relationship between bone graft technique and postoperative outcomes for minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) has not been well-defined. This study aims to determine the effect of iliac crest bone grafting (ICBG) on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and complication rates following MIS TLIF. METHODS Primary, single-level MIS TLIF patients were consecutively analyzed. Patients that prospectively received a percutaneous technique of ICBG were compared to patients that retrospectively received bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). Complication rates were assessed perioperatively and up to 1 year postoperatively. Changes in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), visual analogue scale (VAS) back, and VAS leg pain were compared. Rates of minimum clinically important difference (MCID) achievement at final follow-up for ODI, VAS back, and VAS leg scores were compared. RESULTS One hundred forty-nine patients were included: 101 in the BMP-2 cohort and 48 in the ICBG cohort. The ICBG cohort demonstrated increases in intraoperative blood loss and shorter lengths of stay. ICBG patients also experienced longer operative times, though this did not reach statistical significance. No significant differences in complication or reoperation rates were identified. The ICBG cohort demonstrated greater improvements in VAS leg pain at 6-week and 12-week follow-up. No other significant differences in PROs or MCID achievement rates were identified. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing MIS TLIF with ICBG experienced clinically insignificant increases in intraoperative blood loss and did not experience increases in postoperative pain or disability. Complication and reoperation rates were similar between groups. These results suggest that ICBG is a safe option for MIS TLIF.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In distal radius fractures with metaphyseal comminution, bone grafting or the use of a bone substitute may be necessary. Harvesting autologous iliac crest bone graft for other orthopedic procedures has complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the complication rate after harvesting a small amount of bone as used for the treatment of radius fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients treated in a single level I trauma center with surgical treatment for distal radius fracture with iliac crest bone graft between January 2008 and December 2012 were included in this retrospective study. Patients' records were evaluated and clinical evaluation was performed at follow-up. RESULTS 42 patients (20 females, 22 males, mean age 56.3 ± 15.9 years) were included in this study. Follow-up was mean 6.3 ± 1.2 years. Only minor complications such as hematoma could be identified; in one patient, revision surgery for bleeding was performed. No nerve injuries, long-term pain, fractures, infections or wound healing disturbances could be seen. The use of a drain of hemostyptics, the type of wound closure or pattern of harvested bone did not influence complication rate. CONCLUSION This study shows that harvesting a small amount of iliac crest bone graft for the treatment of distal radius fractures is a safe procedure with a very low complication rate.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort design. PURPOSE This study aimed to determine whether recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) reduces total perioperative blood loss during lumbar and thoracic fusion. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Previous studies on rhBMP-2 versus iliac crest bone grafting in thoracic and lumbar fusions have yielded mixed results regarding reductions in blood loss and have largely neglected the postoperative period when analyzing total blood loss. Additionally, these studies have been limited by heterogeneity and sample size. METHODS We analyzed the blood loss patterns of 617 consecutive adult patients undergoing lumbar and/or thoracic fusions requiring subfascial drain placement at a single institution from January 2009 to December 2016. Patients were divided into BMP and non-BMP cohorts, and a propensity score analysis was conducted to account for the differences between cohorts. RESULTS At a per-level fused basis, the BMP group exhibited a significant reduction in the intraoperative (66.1 mL per-level fused basis; 95% confidence interval [CI], 127.9 to 4.25 mL; p =0.036) and total perioperative blood loss (100.7 mL per-level fused basis; 95% CI, 200.9 to 0.5 mL; p =0.049). However, no significant differences were observed in an analysis when not controlling for the number of levels or when examining the postoperative drain output. CONCLUSIONS RhBMP-2 appears to reduce both intraoperative and total blood loss during lumbar and thoracic fusions on a per-level fused basis. This total reduction in blood loss was achieved via intraoperative effects because RhBMP-2 had no significant effect on the postoperative drain output.

Abstract
Background The iliac crest is the most common autogenous bone graft donor site, although associated with postoperative pain, functional disability, cosmesis, morphology and surgical satisfaction. We assessed each aspect above by comparing iliac crest reconstruction with bone cement and screws following harvest with no reconstruction. Methods We evaluated patients who underwent large iliac crest harvesting, including ten patients who underwent iliac crest defect reconstruction with bone cement and cancellous screws (R group) and ten randomly matched patients without reconstruction (NR group) were evaluated prospectively in the same period. Local pain, cosmesis and other complications were assessed postoperatively at 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. Results Pain, cosmesis and satisfaction of patients significantly differed between the two groups. The R group exhibited less complications and lower pain visual analogue scores at postoperative 1 week (p < 0.001), 6 weeks (p < 0.001) and 3 months (p < 0.01) but not at 6 months, at which time patients reported almost no pain. One patient reported pain for more than 1 year in the NR group. The R group exhibited better cosmesis, morphology and satisfaction than the NR group. In the NR group, one patient suffered pain when sitting up and another when wearing a belt. Conclusion Postoperative pain can be reduced and cosmesis can be improved through reconstructing the iliac crest defects after autogenous harvesting with bone cement and cancellous screws. The technique is simple, safe and easy to implement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) is an increasingly popular procedure with several potential advantages over traditional open TLIF. OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to compare fusion rates of different graft materials used in MIS-TLIF, via meta-analysis of the published literature. METHODS A Medline search was performed and a database was created including patient's type of graft, clinical outcome, fusion rate, fusion assessment modality, and duration of follow-up. Meta-analysis of the fusion rate was performed using StatsDirect software (StatsDirect Ltd, Cheshire, United Kingdom). RESULTS A total of 1533 patients from 40 series were included. Fusion rates were high, ranging from 91.8% to 99%. The imaging modalities used to assess fusion were computed tomography scans (30%) and X-rays (70%). Comparison of all recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP) series with all non-rhBMP series showed fusion rates of 96.6% and 92.5%, respectively. The lowest fusion rate was seen with isolated use of autologous local bone (91.8%). The highest fusion rate was observed with combination of autologous local bone with bone extender and rhBMP (99.1%). The highest fusion rate without the use of BMP was seen with autologous local bone + bone extender (93.1%). The reported complication rate ranged from 0% to 35.71%. Clinical improvement was observed in all studies. CONCLUSION Fusion rates are generally high with MIS-TLIF regardless of the graft material used. Given the potential complications of iliac bone harvesting and rhBMP, use of other bone graft options for MIS-TLIF is reasonable. The highest fusion rate without the use of rhBMP was seen with autologous local bone plus bone extender (93.1%).

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Postoperative pain at the site of bone graft harvest for posterior spine fusion is reported to occur in 6%-39% of cases. However, the area around the posterior, superior iliac spine is a frequent site of referred pain for many structures. Therefore, many postoperative spine patients may have pain in the vicinity of the posterior iliac crest that may not in fact be caused by bone graft harvesting. The literature may then overestimate the true incidence of postoperative iliac crest pain. PURPOSE We performed a prospective study testing the hypothesis that patients will not report significantly higher visual analog scores over the graft harvest site when compared with the contralateral, non-harvested side. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING This is a prospective, randomized cohort study. PATIENT SAMPLE Patients aged 18-75 years undergoing elective spinal fusion of one to two levels between L4 and S1 for spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis were randomized to left-sided or right-sided iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) donor sites and blinded to the side of harvest. OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome was a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS) for pain over the left and right posterior superior iliac spine. METHODS Bone graft was harvested via spinal access incisions without making a separate skin incision over the crest. Each patient's non-harvested side served as an internal control. Data points were recorded by patients on their study visit sheets preoperatively and at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS Forty patients were enrolled in the study (23 females) with an average follow-up of 8.1 months (1.5-12 months). Mean age was 51.7 years (23-77 years). Left- and right-side ICBG harvesting was performed equally between the 40 patients. The average volume of graft harvested from the left was 35.3 mL (15-70 mL) and 36.1 mL (15-60 mL) from the right. There was no statistical difference between preoperative VAS score on the harvested side compared with the non-harvested side (p=.415). Postoperatively, there were consistently higher VAS scores on the operative side; however, these differences were not statistically significant at 6 weeks (p=.111), 3 months (p=.440), 6 months (p=.887), or 12 months (p=.240). Both groups did, however, show statistically significant improvements in VAS scores over time within the operative and nonoperative sides (p<.05). Graft volume had no effect on the VAS scores (p=.382). CONCLUSIONS The current literature does not adequately illuminate the incidence of postoperative pain at the site of harvest and the relative magnitude of this pain in comparison with the patient's residual low back pain. This is the first study to blind the patient to the laterality of bone graft harvesting. Our randomized investigation showed that although pain on the surgical side was slightly higher, it was neither clinically nor statistically different from the nonsurgical side. Our conclusion supports surgeons' use of autologous bone graft, which offers a cost-effective, efficacious spinal fusion supplement.

Abstract
Background Treatment of clavicular non- and malunion is still challenging. Current surgical procedures often result in frustrating functional outcome along with high-grade subjective impairment and increased rates of revision surgery. However, the combination of biological augmentation with vital bone graft and a biomechanically sufficient fixation system seems to be a promising concept of treatment. Methods In this retrospective study, 14 patients with a mean age of 44 years (26–67 years) suffering from non-union (n = 11) and/or malunion (n = 3) of the clavicle were enrolled. All patients were surgically treated using an anatomical precontoured locking compression plate (LCP) and autologous iliac crest bone graft. Functional outcome was assessed using the age- and sex-specific relative Constant Score. Results Mean follow-up was 27 months (range 12–44 months). The relative Constant Score significantly improved from preoperative 61 ± 8 (43–72) to 82 ± 10 (65–100) points at the final follow-up examination (p < 0.05). All patients showed bony union radiographically. One patient presented with a re-fracture of the clavicle nearly 3 years after revision surgery and 5 weeks after implant removal. Secondary fractures at the donor site of the anterior superior iliac spine were recorded in two patients. Conclusions Iliac crest bone graft and anatomic locking plate fixation allow for a safe and adequate stabilization and radiographical bony union in non- and malunions of the clavicle with a high degree of patient satisfaction. However, secondary fractures of the anterior superior iliac spine constitute relevant complications and the time of hardware removal should be considered carefully.

Abstract
PURPOSE Femoral reaming using a Reamer Irrigator Aspirator (RIA) can produce greater than three liters of waste water per procedure, which contains cells and proteins that could promote bone healing. This purpose of this study was to determine the protein profile of RIA waste water and compare protein synthesis by cells harvested via RIA versus iliac crest (IC) bone graft. METHOD Bone graft was collected from 30 patients-15 using RIA from the femur and 15 harvested from the iliac crest. Waste water collected during the RIA procedure was analyzed in 12 patients. Cells from each graft were cultured in monolayer using growth media for 14days and inductive media for the next 14days. Media samples were collected on days 14, 21, and 28. Proteins for analysis were chosen based on their potential in bone healing, pro-inflammatory, and anti-inflammatory processes. RESULTS Proteins present in RIA waste water indicate the potential for clinical use of this filtrate as an adjunct for enhancing bone production, healing, and remodeling. Similarly, cells cultured from RIA bone graft harvests compared favorably to those from iliac crest bone grafts with respect to their potential to aid in bone healing. CONCLUSION RIA waste water has potential to serve as an autogenic and allogenic enhancer for bone healing. Continued development of processing protocols for viable commercial use of the waste water and pre-clinical studies designed to evaluate RIA waste water products for bone healing are ongoing.

Abstract
Management of atrophic non union of forearm bones is a challenging task. Various methods of treatment available in the literature are cortical tibial graft (Boyd), ulnar segment graft (Miller and Phalen), iliac crest graft (Spira), cancellous insert graft (Nicoll), vascularized fibular graft (Jupiter), and bone transport by ring fixator (Tesworth). We here report a case of infected non union of radius managed with modified Nicoll's method. Here, intra medullary nailing is preferred over plating which was originally described by Nicoll. At two years follow up, the patient is symptom free and is able to carry out his daily activities with ease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-2 has been used in some craniofacial centers worldwide. However, its influence on nasal morphology is unknown. Thus, the objective of this investigation was to assess the effect of maxillary alveolar reconstruction on nasal position and symmetry in unilateral complete cleft lip patients who underwent traditional iliac crest bone grafting transferring versus reconstruction using rhBMP-2. METHODS Nineteen unilateral complete cleft lip patients were randomly divided into two groups. In group 1, patients underwent traditional iliac crest bone grafting transferring (n = 11) and in group 2, patients underwent alveolar reconstruction using collagen matrix with lyophilized rhBMP-2 (n = 8). Computerized tomography (CT) imaging was performed preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively using a previously standardized protocol. Linear distances using anatomic landmarks were performed using tridimensional CT data reformatted by the OsiriX(®) software. Quantitative and qualitative measurements to assess intra- and inter-group nasal position modifications were performed. RESULTS Intra-group pre- and postoperative comparisons showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in two linear measurements of group 1, while group 2 did not present a difference (p > 0.05). Group 2 presented significant postoperative enhancement (p < 0.05) in the quantitative nasal symmetry in one measurement. Qualitative analysis showed postoperative nasal symmetry enhancement in 75% of the measurements of group 2 and 36% of group 1. There was no statistically significant difference in the inter-group comparisons. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that both groups showed similar effect on nasal symmetry.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA There is continued controversy regarding the morbidity associated with harvesting iliac crest bone graft (ICBG). More important, its effect on clinical outcomes is poorly understood. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether harvesting ICBG affects clinical outcomes after posterior instrumented fusion in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). METHODS We identified patients enrolled in a prospective, multicenter database of patients with AIS who had posterior instrumented fusion with complete preoperative and 2-year postoperative Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-22R data. Patients who had a previous fusion, thoracoplasty, or anterior surgery were excluded. We classified patients into 2 groups: those who underwent ICBG harvest (ICBG group) and those who did not (non-ICBG group). RESULTS We included 342 patients in the ICBG group versus 563 in the non-ICBG group. There were no significant differences in preoperative age (14.9 vs. 14.8; p = .178), major Cobb angle (51.3 vs. 51.8; p = .782), minor Cobb angle (34.8 vs. 35.1; p = .846), or Pain (4.11 vs. 4.11; p = .912), Appearance (3.29 vs. 3.33; p = .384), Activity (4.15 vs. 4.14; p = .847); Mental (3.95 vs. 4.00; p = .313), or Total (3.86 vs. 3.87; p = .603) SRS-22R scores. The average operative time was slightly longer in the ICBG group (293.55 vs. 276.21 minutes; p = .002). Estimated blood loss was greater in the ICBG group (939.47 vs. 723.63 mL; p = .000; 12.2% vs. 9.2% estimated blood volume; p = .000). The average number of levels fused was similar between groups (10.6 vs. 10.3; p = .137). There were no significant differences in any of the postoperative SRS-22R domains: Pain (4.30 vs. 4.34; p = .373), Appearance (4.23 vs. 4.19; p = .310), Activity (4.31 vs. 4.33; p = .509), Mental (4.20 vs. 4.23; p = .532), Satisfaction (4.42 vs. 4.43; p = .870), or Total Score (4.27 vs. 4.29; p = .674). By 2-year follow-up, there was 1 nonunion reported in the ICBG group and none in the non-ICBG group. CONCLUSIONS After posterior instrumented fusion surgery for AIS, ICBG harvesting was associated with longer operative times and increased blood loss, but did not influence 2-year outcomes, which included pain and appearance scores.
