Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cell Growth

    to grow cells from the calvarial bone in vitro and freeze these collected cells for DNA analysis

    2 years

Study Arms (1)

Normal Tissue

Bone fragments and their associated bone marrow will be collected from patients at the time of surgery without any additional dissection or incisions. Bone will be finely minced and then plated in tissue culture flasks as previously reported by other groups \[7\].

Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)
Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Children with calvarial trauma (an insult which disrupts the cranial vault requiring surgical management to correct the injury) undergoing surgical calvarial reconstruction between the ages of 2 months of age to 18 years old will be included in this study. Children will be evaluated initially at the Pittsburgh Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Center at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh which is set up to accommodate children of all ages and their families.

You may qualify if:

  • All patients between the ages of 2 months of age to 18 years with the diagnosis of pre-operative calvarial defect secondary to trauma and undergoing surgical calvarial reconstruction will be asked to contribute to this study.

You may not qualify if:

  • All patient with a concurrent diagnosis of craniosynostosis or other craniofacial anomaly and any child with calvarial trauma that is not undergoing surgical calvarial reconstruction will be excluded from this study

Biospecimen

Retention: SAMPLES WITH DNA

Bone samples will be collected from bone tissue that would normally be discarded during the reconstructive surgery, so no additional procedures are needed to collect the bone samples. Bone marrow tissues will be collected from patients at the time of surgery without any additional dissection or incisions. Bone will be finely minced and then plated in tissue culture flasks as previously reported by other groups. The procedure will not involve any extra incisions or dissection, as these tissues will be exposed during the reconstructive procedure. At the time of surgery one sample of tissue will be taken from otherwise discarded bone
