Iliac crest reconstruction surgery
When autologous bone graft is needed for the treatment of non-unions or bone defects, is harvested from the pelvic iliac crest. Harvested tricortical graft blocks are used to facilitate fusion of joints (ie pubis symphysis, sacroiliac joint), to structurally support metaphyseal areas of articular impaction injuries and to fill in metaphyseal bone voids. The GreenBone device, with its inherent physical and biomimic properties, possesses similar structural properties to bone, thus, being the ideal material to be used for the treatment of the bone defect (3- 4cm) induced from the harvested tricortical iliac crest, restoring therefore the pelvic anatomy and minimising the risk of chronic pain, haematoma formation and herniation of the abdominal contents.
