Autologous stem cells (adipose) and fibrin glue used to treat widespread traumatic calvarial defects: case report
Abstract
This is a report of a 7-year-old girl suffering from widespread calvarial defects after severe head injury with multifragment calvarial fractures, decompressive craniectomy for refractory intracranial hypertension and replantation of cryopreserved skull fragments. Chronic infection resulted in an unstable skull with marked bony defects. Two years after the initial injury the calvarial defects were repaired. Due to the limited amount of autologous cancellous bone available from the iliac crest, autologous adipose derived stem cells were processed simultaneously and applied to the calvarial defects in a single operative procedure. The stem cells were kept in place using autologous fibrin glue. Mechanical fixation was achieved by two large, resorbable macroporous sheets acting as a soft tissue barrier at the same time. The postoperative course was uneventful and CT-scans showed new bone formation and near complete calvarial continuity three months after the reconstruction.

In the citing paper
“Multiple studies have shown that both ASCs and BM-MSCs can promote bone tissue reconstruction in sites of bone loss with and without multifunctional biomaterials (ceramic, biodegradable polymers, and composite materials) that have been designed to guide bone regeneration [39,90,91,92].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
