Clinical Application of Percutaneous Minimally Invasive Cancellous Bone Harvester / 中国微创外科杂志

Objective To investigate the value of self-made minimally invasive cancellous bone harvester.Methods From February 2007 to October 2008,cancellous bones of 35 cases were obtained by the self-made minimally invasive cancellous bone harvester from the area between the point 1 cm posterior to the anterior superior iliac spine and the tubercle of iliac crest.ResultsThe average amount of harvested bone is 2.37 cm3(range 1-4 cm3).The operation time ranged 3-5 min,and the blood loss was 1-2 ml.The incidence rate of complications was 5.7%(2/35).Conclusions The minimally invasive bone harvester is safe and reliable.It can be used for some bone grafting surgeries.
