An experimental study of autoclaved autogenous mandible in combination with cancellous bone and marrow.

Results of a study in eight dogs indicate that a combination of cancellous bone and marrow contained within autoclaved bone can produce a successful graft. Four implants failed because of breakdown of the oral mucosa and exposure of the graft; rejection may have been the cause of the breakdown in one instance. Although most of the factors that caused exposure of the grafts probably could be controlled in a clinical situation, the technique cannot be recommended without reservation.

Atheroembolism presenting as selective muscle embolisation.

Two cases of occult aneurysmal disease presenting with select muscle embolisation are described. Both cases were characterised by symptomatology suggestive of occlusive disease but in the presence of normal pulses. It is concluded that the clinical features allow early diagnosis of this uncommon presentation of aneurysmal disease.
