[Use of bone-matrix transplants in rhinoplastic operations].
Defects of the external nose and nasal septum were corrected using bone-matrix transplants (bone matrix-BM and embryonic matrix-EM) in 220 patients. EM transplants were more osteoinductive. Functional studies show that demineralized transplants, especially EM, activate both microcirculation in the implantation focus, adjacent tissue and metabolic processes which improve the results of the functional tests in rhinoplasty.
