Abstract

The results indicated that severe complications from iliac crest bone graft harvest can be avoided and major complications affecting functioning are uncommon, but minor complications are common. The findings suggest that procedural refinements of limiting subcutaneous dissection and providing layered tension-free incision closure may improve results.
