“…Another indisputable advantage of rib grafts is the ability of the rib to regrow, when the periosteum is closed over the site of the harvested rib. In their large series, Körlof et al reported almost 100 per cent regrowth of the harvested rib 10 …”

Split-rib reconstruction of the frontal sinus: two cases and literature review

et al. 2011

Background: Large defects of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus require closure using either autologous or foreign material. In cases of osteomyelitis, the reconstruction must be resistant to bacterial infection. Split-rib osteoplasty can be used in different sites.Methods: Two patients with malignant sinonasal tumours underwent repeated treatment, and subsequently developed osteomyelitis of the frontal bone. After adequate therapy, a large defect of the anterior wall persisted. Reconstruction was performed using the split-rib method. The literature on this topic was reviewed.Results: Both patients' treatment were successful. No complications occurred. A PubMed search on the topic of rib reconstruction of the frontal sinus and skull was performed; 18 publications matched the inclusion criteria. From these sources, we noted that 182 reconstructions yielded good results with few complications.Conclusion: Large defects of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus can be closed successfully using autologous split-rib grafting. Aesthetic outcome is good and donor site morbidity is minimal.

“…In studies where autogenous bone grafts have been used for sinus augmentation, resorption rate of up to 55% during the first 6 months has been reported. 6,7 Extensive resorption of the grafting material makes the treatment results difficult to predict. However, findings in the literature indicate that autogenous bone grafts are superior to allogenic and alloplastic materials, 8 but then the problems with resorption of the graft have not been taken into consideration.…”

“…Bone formation within and around the granules was seen in the study by Turner and colleagues, 4 but the granules were used in the femur in a dog model and were not comparable with the granules in the human sinus. In studies where autogenous bone grafts have been used for sinus augmentation, resorption rate of up to 55% during the first 6 months has been reported 6,7 . Extensive resorption of the grafting material makes the treatment results difficult to predict.…”

Porous Titanium Granules Used as Osteoconductive Material for Sinus Floor Augmentation: A Clinical Pilot Study

In the present study, titanium granules seem to function as augmentation material in the sinus floor. It is, however, not clear if the material can be safely used for two-stage procedures. Further investigations with longer healing time before implant installation are required. Also, the possible risk of granule displacement during preparation of the fixture site should be further investigated. Additionally, biopsies from patients are requested to confirm any bone ingrowth between the granules.

“…Autogenous bone grafts have good tissue tolerance and presence of a viable reconstruction matrix. Its limitations include resorption, infection, donor site morbidity and inability to obtain enough bone for large defects (7).…”
