Brief Summary

In the past few years, periosteal membrane has been used in orthopedic surgery as well as periodontal surgery as a mechanism to promote bone healing without the ingrowth of fibrous tissues. It has shown its efficiency in maintaining the bone volume and density in postoperative follow up. This can in turn solve the problem of potential bone loss in patients of alveolar cleft. The study aims to see if fixing the periosteum of the anterior ilium with tacks after bone graft application in the donor site will help maintain the graft and promote healing for the alveolar cleft patients

secondary surgical repair of alveolar cleft with cortico-cancellous anterior iliac bone graft.

EXPERIMENTAL

The cleft area is infiltrated with 1% xylocaine with epinephrine on the palatal and buccal side of the anterior maxilla. Two full thickness mucoperiosteal flaps are created by incising the anterior surface of the alveolar process, alongside the cleft ridge. The nasal mucosa is separated by an incision from the gingiva on both sides of maxilla. Flaps are lifted cautiously with a periosteal elevator along the labial surface of alveolar process to the piriform aperture. The nasal mucosa is reflected into the nose and the periosteum out of the cleft so that new bone can be grafted. The autogenic bone fills the cleft fissure, and it is covered with lifted flaps. The incision of mucous flap for covering clefts can be moved from the lateral sides of the alveolar process. It is advised to place the bone graft in the region of the piriform aperture to provide elevation and support for the base of ala nasi on the cleft. The skin incision line is made parallel to the iliac crest.

Procedure: : delayed surgical repair of alveolar cleft using particulate cortico-cancellous anterior iliac bon

Interventions

skin incision was marked 2-4 cm from the crest to anterior iliac spine height. This is done to avoid pain at the beltline if the incision is made directly over the anterior ilium. As well as avoid injury to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. After the anatomical marking are drawn using betadine solution, the site is injected with local anesthesia at the subcutaneous level. The skin incision line is made parallel to the iliac crest and posterior to the anterior iliac spine. Scalpel blade number 10 is used. The incision of the skin and subcutaneous fat was performed. Blunt dissection is carried out at the level of subcutaneous tissues to separate the fascia from fat. Cautery is used to control any hemorrhage. Using a number 15 blade, fascia was incised which covers the iliac spine. A hypo vascular plane was identified. It is located over the anterior iliac spine, as well as between the insertions of tensor fascia laterally and the external and the transverse abdominal muscles medially
