Minimally Invasive Cancellous Bone Graft Harvesting in Trauma Indication - Clinical Part of the Study

Abstract

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The clinical prospective study presents the results of minimally invasive harvesting of cancellous bone tissue in trauma indications. We focused on evaluating the clinical outcomes of this technique, particularly on the amount of cancellous bone harvested, the effectiveness of its use and complications.

The pain in the bone graft harvest site is evaluated and compared with the pain after a standard harvest from the iliac crest.
