Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiological results of the patients who treated the combination of Corticospongiosis dried and frozen allograft (AG) with Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) and the patients who treated AG in the patients who had bening cystic lesions (BCLs) and nonunion.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included patients who had a BCLs and nonunion, who underwent DBM and / or AG during the operation and who followed radiologically and clinically. Patients with BCLs were included in Group I and the patients with nonunion were included in Group II. Group I and Group II patients were divided into two groups as A and B. Patients who treated DBM-AG were included in group A and who treated AG were included in group B. Goldberg radiological evaluation scale was used to evaluate the graft appearance and its union potential.
Results: In this study, 101 patients were included. Forty-eight patients in group I and 53 patients in group II were included. When comparing Group IA with Group IB, there was a significant difference in terms of their radiological scores (p=0.011). When comparing Group IIA with Group IIB, there was a significant difference in terms of their radiological scores (p=0.014). The Group IA and IIA score were statistically significantly higher.
Conclusion: In the treatment of BCLs and nonunion, AG-DBM combination is more effective than AG alone as clinically and radiologically.
