TI  - Autologous Corticocancellous Bone Graft Viability After Reversed Placement
AB  - Objective: The aim was to present early and late period findings in patients who underwent reconstruction with corticocancellous
bone grafts using the technique of inverting the cancellous side of the graft to the side with better blood supply.
Method: Patients repaired with corticocancellous bone grafts using this technique between 2018 and 2019 were retrospectively
reviewed. The etiology and localization of the defects, the size of the bone graft, the type of soft tissue and early and late
complications were documented. Six months later, bone scintigraphy was examined and the viability of the grafts was checked.
Results: There were seven patients with an average age 42. Three patients had maxillary, two mandibular and two frontal bones
have defects with the sizes between 3x1.5 cm and 10x4 cm. Random flaps for coverage and plates for fixation were used in all
patients except one. Graft fail occurred for one patient and bone reconstruction was postponed until after debridement. All
grafts show osteoblastic activity on scintigraphy, except the patient with osteomyelitis.
Conclusion: Using the cancellous side of the corticocancellous bone grafts to be applied to the side where the blood supply
is relatively better gives good results.
