Abstract

Bone grafts are widely used in veterinary practices in the World. The opportunity of bone graft usage are underestimated in our country by both researchers and clinicians. In this manuscript review, types and the variety of applications of bone grafts were collected within historical knowledge up to today’s practices. In general, grafts have benefits in communited fractures with large bone gaps. Healing problems due to complications and stimulation of the bone production in non-healing fractures are other aspects of grafts. Moreover, bone grafts are widely used in malunions, arthrodesis, reconstructive bone and joint procedures, dissection of bone cysts and tumors, metal implant complications or either coating the implant with offers salvational solutions for problems. The integrity of implants can be augmented as like in dental applications which can be found in various practices in literature.

Veteriner Ortopedik Cerrahide Kemik Grefleri

Abstract

Kemik grefleri günümüzde veteriner cerrahi alanında sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Ülkemizde kemik greflerinin sağladığı bir çok imkan araştırmacılar ve klinisyenler tarafından yeterince değerlendirilememektedir. Bu derleme hazırlanırken kemik greflerinin çeşitleri ve kullanım alanları hakkındaki tarihsel ve güncel bilgilerin hekimlerin bilgisine sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Kemik grefleri çözümü zor görülen kırık kaynama problemlerinde, kemik tümörü operasyonlarında ve diğer birçok durumda avaskülerize veya vaskülerize şekilde kullanılarak bugüne kadar gelmiştir ve günümüzde kemik ve eklemlerin bütün olarak yenilenmesi konuları ilgi görmeye başlamıştır. Genel anlamda çok parçalı veya maddi kayıplı kırıkların tedavisinde kemik grefleri büyük avantajlar sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca bir komplikasyona bağlı iyileşmenin gecikmesi ve kemik iyileşmesinin uyarılması konusunda, deformasyonların düzeltilmesi, artrodez operasyonları, rekonstrüktif eklem ve kemik cerrahisi, kemik tümörleri, kist ve osteomyelit durumlarında, metal implant komplikasyonu veya implantın kaplanarak dokuya integrasyonunun artırılması gibi uygulamaların yanı sıra diş hekimliği cerrahisi kemik greflerinin sık kullanıldığı alanlar arasındadır.
