Abstract

Bone defect reconstruction with artificial materials may produce good functional recovery in the short term. Over time, the durability of artificial materials becomes an issue, and therefore, artificial materials cannot be considered a permanent solution to reconstruction. For long-term outcomes, the goal is to regain function, permanence, and form that are as close to normal as possible. Thus, physiological materials are desirable for use in reconstruction. Biological reconstruction involves the use of materials that are modified in vivo following reconstruction of bone defects. The goal is to achieve bone union, bone revival and remodeling, with biointegration of soft tissue and bone. Allograft use has been the mainstay of bone defect reconstruction in most parts of the world, although in some countries like Japan, allogeneic bone is difficult to obtain due to socio-religious concerns. Therefore, we developed new biological reconstruction techniques to overcome this problem. Bone derived from distraction osteogenesis is autologous bone, which must be an ideal reconstruction material for its biological affinity, strength, resilience, and immunity to infection. When applying this method to patients with malignant disease howeve...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
