Morbidity of anterior iliac crest and calvarial bone donor graft sites: A 1-year randomized controlled trial
International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Jun 24, 2018
Putters TF, et al. - Authors compared the morbidity of calvarial and iliac crest donor sites following harvesting. Minor postoperative pain after harvesting was reported by the anterior iliac crest group. Significantly longer scars were seen after calvaria harvesting, however, this did not seem to bother the patients. In both groups, negligible long-term pain and high satisfaction were seen. Findings suggested an association of both the calvaria and anterior iliac crest with low long-term donor site morbidity and high patient satisfaction. Therefore, when selecting the preferred harvesting method for that patient, the patient-centred decision-making is appropriate.
