Özet

ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological results of the patients who treated the combination of Corticospongiosis dried and frozen allograft(AG) with a Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) andthe patients who treated AG in the patients who hadbenign cystic lesions (BCLs) and nonunion.Materials and MethodsThis retrospective study included patients who hadBCLs and nonunion, who underwent DBM and/or AGduring the operation, and who followed radiologically and clinically. Patients with BCLs were included inGroup I and the patients with nonunion were includedin Group II. Group I and Group II patients were divided into two groups as A and B. Patients who treatedDBM-AG were included in group A and those who treated AG were included in group B. Goldberg’s radiological evaluation scale was used to evaluate the graftappearance and its union potential.ResultsIn this study, 101 patients were included.48 patientsin group I and 53 patients in group II were included.When comparing Group IA with Group IB, there was asignificant difference in terms of their radiological scores (p=0.011). When comparing Group IIA with GroupIIB, there was a significant difference in terms of theirradiological scores (p=0.014). The Group IA and IIAscores were statistically significantly higher.ConclusionIn the treatment of BCLs and nonunion,the AG-DBMcombination is more effective than AG alone as clinically and radiologically.
