Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) was used to determine the fate of the bone graft in cleft lip and palate patients. Eight right-sided unilateral cleft lip and palate patients from the Free University Hospital in Amsterdam, treated with early, secondary bone grafting, were evaluated immediately after the operation and 1 year postoperatively. Approximately 70% of the volume of transplanted iliac crest bone was still present in the cleft area after 1 year.Entities:
