Bone Grafts And Orthobiologics Flashcards
What are some benefits of bone grafts
- important in treatment of nonunion
- Fill large defects
- Structural integrity
- Increase vascularity
What is the gold standard for bone grafts
Authogenous grafts
Describe the properties of Autogenous grafts
- osteogenic
- osteoconductive
- osteoinductive
What are some common sites for harvesting Autogenous bone grafts
Calcaneus
Tibia
Fibula
Iliac crest
What is the importance of the cortical portion of the corticocancellous bone grafts
Structure and length
What is the importance of the cancellous portion of corticocancellous bone in a bone graft
BMP mediates osteoprogenitor/MSCs, necessary for incorporation
What is the trephine technique
- percutaneous
- largely cancellous,
- good for small defects
- can be mixed with other products
What is the maximum free graft that can be interposed/implanted
2.5cm
If greater than 2.5cm of bone graft is needed, what can be done
- onlay/inlay graft
- bone transport
- vascularized graft
What are the properties of allogenic grafts
- osteoinductive
- osteoconductive
What is the advantages of allogenic grafts
- no donor sire morbidity
- decreased OR time
The success of orthobiologics depends on what
- vascularity
- surgical intervention with adequate preparation
- proper alignment
- application of stable fixation
What is he make of of osteoinductive orthobiologics
- PRP
- BMP
- Growth factors
Wha is the make up os osteoconductive orthobiologics
- DBM
- Bioceramics
- Bioglass
What is the make up osteogenic orthobiologics
- Mesenchymal stem cells
Describe the osteoinductive PRPs
Platelet Rich Plasma
- used for bone, ligament and tendon healing
- centrifuging the patient’s blood to separate out and obtain a gel-like concentration of growth facts
- PRP injected in and around the surgical site
How many BMPs are recognized and how play a role in bone healing
- 20 recognized
- 7 play a role in bone healing
