title: Monocortical osteotransplant of the iliac bone in reconstruction of mandibular gunshot defects.
abstract: In the Clinic for Maxillofacial Surgery of Military Medical Academy, 134 injured with mandibular defects were treated, as well as a significantly larger number of injured from the territory of former Yugoslavia, with dominant injuries of the head and neck regions. Until June 1994, smaller defects were treated using bicortical osteotransplant of the iliac bone. Due to its only partial successfulness in reconstruction of mandibular defects, monocortical osteotransplant of the iliac bone was selected for reconstruction of the mandibular defects and the results were much better compared to the other free osteotransplants.
