The objective was to do a comparative study and to evaluate the outcome in overall acceptance for correction of residual facial deformity with autogenous graft versus porous polyethylene implants.
A total of 16 patients in the age group of ≥15 years irrespective of sex, caste, religion, and socioeconomic status presenting with signs and symptoms of residual facial deformities and who were declared fit for surgery were included in the study. The study patients were further divided into two groups, of eight each. Deformity correction using autogenous grafts was performed in Group A and using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) alloplastic implants was performed in Group B. During the follow-up period, patients' and doctor rating of overall acceptance between autogenous and alloplastic (HDPE) bone grafts was recorded on 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) on the 2 day and 7 day and at 3, 6, and 12 weeks.
The unpaired -test is used for evaluation. VAS score at all the follow-up periods above stated was significantly higher in alloplastic group than in the autogenous group for both in patients and doctor evaluation.
From the present study, it can be concluded that porous HDPE implants are an effective alternative to autogenous grafts in accordance of overall acceptance for correction of residual facial deformity when proper case selection, exclusion of negative prognostic factors, and meticulous surgical procedure are followed.
进行一项比较研究,评估自体移植与多孔聚乙烯植入物矫正面部残余畸形的总体接受效果。
本研究纳入了16例年龄≥15岁、无论性别、种姓、宗教和社会经济地位如何、有面部残余畸形体征和症状且被判定适合手术的患者。研究患者进一步分为两组,每组8例。A组采用自体移植进行畸形矫正,B组采用高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)异体植入物进行矫正。在随访期间,在第2天、第7天以及3、6和12周时,采用100毫米视觉模拟量表(VAS)记录患者和医生对自体和异体(HDPE)骨移植总体接受程度的评分。
采用非配对t检验进行评估。在患者和医生评估中,上述所有随访期的VAS评分在异体移植组均显著高于自体移植组。
从本研究可以得出结论,在遵循适当的病例选择、排除负面预后因素以及细致的手术操作时,多孔HDPE植入物在矫正面部残余畸形的总体接受度方面是自体移植的有效替代方案。
