Official Title: Swiss Prospective Autologous Bone Flap Resorption Study
Brief Summary: The complications after reimplantation of cryoconserved autologous bone flaps are reported inhomogeniously in the literature. Especially the incidence of bone flap resorption varies from 0% to about 30%. More recent retrospective studies seem to find higher resorption rates and thus suggest to implant artificial bone replacements from the start. The Swiss Prospective Autologous bone Resorption Study is the first propspective observational study designed to determine the true incidence of autologous bone resorption.
