Q

What is the philosophy of the reconstructive ladder when considering reconstructive options?

A

Try what is as minimal as possible on the reconstructive ladder, e.g. the base of the ladder is healing via secondary intention

Q

The second principle of flap surgery is to think of the reconstruction in terms of what?

A

Units

26
Q

The most important aspect of a flap surgery when considering a unit is its what?

A

Borders

27
Q

Must a partial unite defect remain a partial unit defect for reconstruction?

A

No, it’s always better to convert to a whole unit defect and graft for better comesis

28
Q

The third principle of flap surgery requires that they should always be what 2 things?

A
  1. A pattern

2. A fall back plan

29
Q

Principle IV of flap surgery discusses what aspects of suturing and what consideration for the donor site for the flap or the graft?

A

Sutured without tension

Donor area should not have excessive tissue loss

30
Q

What are 4 factors guiding the choice of graft for bone?

A
  1. Volume of bone needed
  2. Type of bone needed (particulate or cortical)
  3. Function of bone needed
  4. Availability of donor site
31
Q

What are the 2 phases of Axhausen’s theory of osteogenesis?

A

Phase I = cell proliferation and disorganized osteoid formation
Phase II = phase I disorganized osteoid resorbed and replaced with organized lamellar bone

32
Q

Phase I of Axhausen’s theory of osteogenesis is most active how long after placement of bone graft?

A

Most active first 4-6 weeks

33
Q

When is the grafted area more radiopaque, Phase I or Phase II of Axhausen’s osteogenesis?

A

Phase I due to disorganized osteoid

34
Q

When does the disorganized osteoid from Phase I begin to resorb and be replaced by the more organized lamellar bone of Phase II of Axhausen’s osteogenesis?

A

2 weeks post graft, peaking at 6 weeks

35
Q

New bone in the graft site is derived from what cells: graft cells or host cells?

A

Host cells

36
Q

Is cortical bone osteoconductive or osteoinductive?

A

Osteoconductive because only provides a scaffold

37
Q

Is particulate / cancellous bone (synonymous) osteoconductive or osteoinductive?

A

Osteoinductive

38
Q

Longevity of graft depends on what 2 things?

A

Cellular quantity and quality of recipient bed

39
Q

What can decrease the cellular quantity and quality of the recipient bed which will decrease graft success?

A
  1. Scarring
  2. Irradiation
  3. Fatty tissue
40
Q

What is the term for a graft that is transplanted from one region to another in the same individual?

A

Autograft

41
Q

What is the term for a graft from one individual to a genetically non- identical individual of the same species?

A

Allograft

42
Q

What is the term for a graft transplanted from one species to another?

A

Xenograft

43
Q

What is the term for a graft that is synthetic bone substitutes (tricalcium, phosphate, hydroxyapatite)?

A

Alloplasts

44
Q

What is the only graft that provides living, immunocompatible cells that are essential to phase I of bone healing: autograft, allograft, xenograft, or alloplasts?

A

Autograft

45
Q

What type of graft must be treated to reduce antigenicity, for example undergoing lyophilization [freeze drying]: autograft, allograft, xenograft, alloplasts?

A

Allograft

46
Q

Which autogenous bone graft provides the greatest amount of viable bone-forming cells: cancellous or cortical ?

A

Cancellous

47
Q

Which autogenous bone graft requires rigid fixation: cancellous or cortical ?

A

Cortical

48
Q

Which autogenous bone graft has a higher concentration of bone morphogenic proteins (BMP) : cancellous or cortical ?

A

Cortical

49
Q

Which autogenous bone graft has a more porous microstructure: cancellous or cortical?

A

Cancellous

50
Q

Which autogenous bone graft has less osteocompetent cells and less surface area for remodeling: cancellous or cortical?

A

Cortical

51
Q

Which autogeneous bone graft has no structural integrity: cancellous or cortical?

A

Cancellous

52
Q

Are allogenic grafts more osteoconductive or osteoinductive?

A

Osteoconductive (provide the framework)

Weak osteoconductive if you have small amounts of BMP

53
Q

What allograft has been processed to make BMPs more available, and the processing is thought to expedite the incorporation process once placed, and has been shown to stimulate more new bone?

A

Demineralized freed-dried bone (DFDB)

54
Q

Alloplasts (synthetic bone substitutes) are only osteoinductive or osteoconductive?

A

Only osteoconduction

55
Q

What is a contraindication for alloplast bone graft?

A

Load-bearing areas

56
Q

What is a disadvantage of Alloplast bone graft use?

A

High incidence of tissue breakdown and secondary infection

57
Q

Which is the slowest bone graft material to take?

A

Alloplasts. May take up to 9-12 months to see bone growth.

58
Q

What are 2 areas for local bone in jaw for autogenous graft?

A
  1. Chin

2. Ramus

59
Q

What are 4 areas for distant bone for autogenous graft in the jaw?

A
  1. Rib
  2. Calverial
  3. Tibial
  4. Ilium
60
Q

What is the difference between platelet rich protein (PRP) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP)?

A

PRP is pt’s blood spun down and placed in graft site to provide protein regeneration chemicals to the bone. BMP is the commercial alternative

61
Q

What is a positive aspect of using the rib as a distant autogenous donor site and in what demographic is this a consideration?

A

Rib provides both bone and cartilage. Cartilage allows the bone to continue to grow which is key for young reconstruction pts, i.e. pts still growning
