Autograft
Allograft, autograft or no biologic had similar fusion rates in foot, ankle arthrodesis
SAN DIEGO — Results presented here showed the use of an allograft, autograft or no biologic adjuvant had equivalent fusion rates and rates of postoperative adverse outcomes in foot and ankle arthrodesis.
Novel synthetic bone graft may have higher spinal fusion rate vs. bone autograft
SAN DIEGO — A novel synthetic bone graft utilizing submicron-sized needle-shaped surface biphasic calcium phosphate may be superior to bone autograft for instrumented posterolateral spinal fusion, according to results presented here.
Preexisting patellar tendinopathy did not affect ACL reconstruction results with autograft
SAN DIEGO — Mild to moderate preoperative patellar tendinopathy may not significantly affect postoperative outcomes of ACL reconstructions with a bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft, according to results presented here.
Sternoclavicular joint reconstruction with gracilis autograft may be used for instability
The sternoclavicular joint has high native stability, with static stabilization provided by the joint capsule, costoclavicular and interclavicular ligaments.
ACL reconstruction with hamstring, quadriceps autografts may improve functional outcomes
Published results showed ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon and quadriceps tendon autografts yielded satisfactory patient-reported functional outcomes and return to sport for athletically active patients aged 50 years and older.
Sternoclavicular reconstruction with gracilis autograft in a pediatric patient
An 11-year-old left hand-dominant boy with no medical or surgical history presented to the pediatric orthopedic surgery clinic approximately 5 months after falling off a trampoline and falling directly onto his right shoulder.
Peroneus longus vs. hamstring autograft yielded early return to sport after ACL surgery
According to published results, doubled peroneus longus tendon autograft may provide faster return to sport vs. quadrupled hamstring tendon autograft for patients undergoing ACL reconstruction.
CT scan shows RSA with autograft or allograft may be reliable for glenoid augmentation
According to presented results, reverse shoulder arthroplasty with either structural bone autograft or allograft to augment the reconstruction of the glenoid yielded improved clinical outcomes and bony incorporation on CT scan.
Superficial quadriceps and hamstring autograft show similar results in MPFL reconstruction
According to published results, both superficial quadriceps autograft and hamstring autograft are “safe and reproducible” procedures for patients with patellar instability who undergo medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction.
Quadriceps autograft in ACL reconstruction may decrease failure, accelerate return to play
WASHINGTON — Results presented here showed quadriceps autograft may decrease clinical failure rates and accelerate return to play compared with hamstring autograft alone after ACL reconstruction.
