Grafts for Straightening Deviated Noses

Bone grafts as a recyclable material in nasal surgeries

“…Dini et al stated that they used bone grafts as medial crural struts when they could not get an adequate amount of cartilage for nasal tip support [4]. We also have used bone grafts with a similar objective in some of our cases.…”

“…The author reported the use of graft in the nasal tip during a case presentation and graft resorption in a few months. Dini et al reported that the mass loss in bone graft was due to graft mobility and insufficient vascularization [4]. The author reported that the bone grafts harvested from ethmoid's perpendicular plate may be used in addition to the conventional spreader grafts and perhaps more importantly may provide a solution for the obvious dorso-caudal septal deviations without causing an expansion in the area of use.…”

The bony cartilaginous unit: the missing graft in septorhinoplasty

“…3 The bony part of the septum is easy to harvest, biocompatible, and strong enough to provide support. These bones are also not absorbed over a short time period.…”

Septal Reposition and Correction of a Deviated Nose Using a Nasal Wedge Bone Graft after Osteotomy in Corrective Rhinoplasty

“…Very small bone grafts are reportedly resorbed, but this mainly seems to have occurred when the graft was transplanted into the tip region [11]; we performed transplantation at the dorsum, which moves less than the tip and has good blood flow, reducing the likelihood of resorption. Although the authors were trying to record a follow-up CT to prove this, every patient rejected taking a CT as a matter of cost and radiation.…”
