Tibial autogenous cancellous bone as an alternative donor site in maxillofacial surgery: a preliminary report.

This preliminary report reviews the use of the proximal tibial metaphysis as an alternative to other bone graft donor sites. A series of 21 cancellous grafts were procured from 20 patients using a predictable orthopedic approach. A singular finding was the overall lack of morbidity at the donor site and the apparent favorable quality and quantity of the procured bone. Data describing the use of tibial cancellous bone grafting in a wide range of maxillofacial reconstructive procedures are presented.

Traumatic iliofemoral arterial injury: an association with high anterior acetabular fractures.

Two patients with documented anteroposterior compression injuries to the pelvis sustained concomitant injury to the iliofemoral artery and fracture of the acetabulum involving the high anterior column (the portion of the ilium forming the anterior component of the acetabulum). In a series of 800 major pelvic fractures similar arterial injuries have not occurred in association with other documented mechanisms. A high index of suspicion for iliofemoral artery injuries should be held by the clinician treating patients with acetabular fractures of the high anterior column sustained from anteroposterior compressive forces.
