Nonvascularized Bone Harvest
andTransfer
AuroraG.Vincent andSpenceerR.Anderson
Introduction
Nonvascularized autologous bone grafting (NVABG) is commonly employed to
reconstruct a wide array of bony defects [1–5], including craniofacial, upper, and
lower extremity reconstructions. NVABG can be used alone to augment native
bone, to ll in short bony gaps up to 6cm, and to augment osteotomy sites of vascularized bone aps. NVABG donor sites can include the cranium, iliac crest, tibia,
bula, and radius. Donor site selection often depends on multiple factors, including
the recipient site location, intraoperative patient positioning, and, importantly, graft
volume. NVABG is a reliable method for reconstruction because of its inherent
osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic potential [6–8] when compared to
nonautologous modalities. Additionally, NVABG can be routinely obtained without
signicant donor site compromise.
Identifying appropriate patients for NVABG is integral to overall successful graft
take and outcome. NVABG relies solely on the quality of the recipient site soft tissue and vascularity for nutritional support leading to successful incorporation and
union. Therefore, NVABG is at high risk of failure and is not recommended to be
used in wound beds that have been previously irradiated or otherwise suffered vascular compromise. In these scenarios, vascularized tissue would be warranted.

The iliac crest is traditionally the most common donor site utilized when a large
volume of grafting material is required [6], and it is considered the gold standard [8]
among potential donor sites because of ease of access, opportunity for cortical and/
or cancellous bone harvest, and sufcient local soft tissue for donor site coverage.
This chapter will focus on iliac crest NVABG, highlighting the harvest technique,
intraoperative pearls, and postoperative considerations for patients undergoing
reconstruction.
Iliac Crest Nonvascularized Bone Harvest
Preoperative Considerations
The patient’s profession and activity level are important to consider before harvest;
the harvest site and scar location can be visible with certain types of bikinis, can
make the wear of a heavy belt uncomfortable, and can lead to prolonged hip pain
with walking. In cases in which harvest may signicantly interfere with postoperative activity and return to work, then alternative sites can be considered. Bony landmarks at the hips can often be palpated even in obese individuals, so patient BMI is
often not a prohibitory factor to harvest. Previous abdominal surgery would rarely
preclude iliac crest harvest as a nonvascularized graft, but the harvest site should be
inspected for previous scars or injuries nonetheless.
Steps ofHarvest
1. Mark the apex of the anterior–superior iliac spine (ASIS) to a point approxi-
mately 5cm anterior along the rim. This mark is for reference.
2. Mark the intended incision approximately 2 cm inferior to the marked apex
(Fig.16.1).

3. Roll the skin superiorly so the intended incision is directly overlying the ASIS,
and incise.
(a) The skin is rolled until it’s directly overlying the spine for ease of dissection.
The incision is not made directly over the ASIS when the skin is in its resting
position, as this can contribute to worsened postoperative pain and irritation.
Also, incisions over the ASIS are more likely to be visible with the wear of
swim apparel or low-cut pants, whereas lower-placed incisions are
more hidden.
4. Dissect with monopolar cautery to the bony spine, then dissect in a subperiosteal
fashion medial to the ilium, along its medial face, to remove muscle and expose
the medial bony surface.
5. Place a Taylor Retractor (Fig.16.2) into the wound pocket with the retractor tip
curled laterally to protect and retract muscular tissue while exposing the
iliac bone.
6. Under copious irrigation, use a reciprocating saw to make anterior and posterior
vertical cuts into the bone, the width of the desired amount of bone to harvest
(typically 2–3 cm). Cuts should be extended 5 mm deeply into the ilium, or
roughly the width of the reciprocating saw blade itself.
7. Connect the cuts superiorly across the apex of the bone with the recipro-
cating saw.
8. Use a broad osteotome to deepen the apex incision and release bone from supe-
rior to inferior. A single sheet of bone, typically 3×4cm, can be released.

Wound Closure
1. Irrigate the wound with copious amounts of normal saline.
2. Place a sheet of gelfoam over the harvest area.
3. Bipolar cautery can be employed to achieve hemostasis, but there typically is
minimal bleeding after the bony wound bed is covered with gelfoam.
4. Close the skin and subcutaneous tissues in layers. The authors prefer to use inter-
rupted 3-0 vicryls for a deep closure, subcuticular running monocryl, then skin
glue over the surface.
Postoperative Considerations
1. Patients may walk, shower, and engage in regular activities as appropriate, given
restrictions for other surgical procedures.
2. A drain is not necessary to be placed in the wound bed, and the risk of signicant
postoperative bleeding at the harvest site is minimal so long as hemostasis is
observed after gelfoam is applied to the bony wound.
3. Patients may experience some pain and discomfort at the incision site, but this is
typically lessened (and irritated less by clothing) when the incision is inferior to
the ASIS.
Pearls
1. A roughly 3×4 cm sheet of bone can be harvested. As necessary, the sheet can
later be cut to a specic size or passed through a bone mill; the bone pate is then
used for harvest.
2. The use of a Taylor retractor and thin reciprocating saw blade are important tools
to ease the efcient and safe harvest of an intact sheet of bone.
3. This harvest techniques leads to no externally-palpable defects and only a short
(3–4cm) scar inferior to the ASIS.
Discussion
The iliac crest is considered the gold standard donor for NVABG-based reconstruction. In the operative setting, gross anatomical landmarks simplify donor site exposure, and due to anatomical location, often grant the opportunity for a two-team
simultaneous reconstructive approach. Anatomically, the iliac crest yields both cortical and/or cancellous bone that can be successfully harvested in larger amounts
compared to alternative donor site locations such as the radius or tibia. Aesthetically,
the iliac crest donor site is well hidden and concealed at the level of the waist.
Although favorable and commonly used, the iliac crest donor site is not without
risk or potential morbidity. Minor reported complications include temporary gait

disturbance, skin hypersensitivity, surgical site infection, and most commonly, acute
pain [5]. Major complications, although rare, include possible donor site fracture or
abdominal hernia [5]. Katz etal. specically evaluated outcomes of iliac crest bone
harvest in the elderly population. Their study found that although the volume of
bone graft harvested was associated with a longer hospital stay, the overall procedure is safe for both the young and the aged.
Despite rare occurrences of fracture post iliac crest harvest, biomechanical analyses have been performed to identify risk factors for possible donor site fracture.
Schmitz etal. reported three factors for consideration to reduce the risk or prevent
donor site fracture. First, harvesting below the peak of the iliac crest ridge preserves
structure integrity and more adequately balances mechanical stress along the bone.
Second, ensuring a proper balance of length versus depth of harvest should be considered for biomechanical purposes. Lastly, harvesting bone approximately 2cm
posterior to the anterior superior iliac spine can minimize the risk of fatigue fracture.
In conclusion, the iliac crest is a reliable, viable donor site for NVABG harvest
employed for bone defects requiring reconstruction. The iliac crest donor site offers
simplicity and efciency of harvest, minimal morbidity, and therefore, should be
considered an integral part of the reconstructive surgeon’s armamentarium.

Masseteric Nerve Transfer forFacial
Reinnervation
MarcH.Hohman andAuroraG.Vincent
Introduction
The nerve to the masseter muscle is a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve and, as such, provides a conveniently located donor motor nerve that
can be used to replace or supplement the function of the facial nerve. While both
nerves provide motor control to muscles within the face, there are important practical differences between the two. The rst is that the use of the masseteric nerve for
smile rehabilitation will initially require patients to bite down to produce oral commissure excursion, but with postoperative physical therapy and practice, many will
learn to smile without needing to clench the jaw. Some patients, particularly children, will develop a spontaneous smile via the masseteric nerve, but most adults
lack this degree of neuroplasticity [1]. The second is the basal ring rate, which is
relatively high in the facial nerve and relatively low in the masseteric nerve. The
facial nerve’s high resting tone prevents facial droop in repose, whereas the masseteric nerve’s low resting tone helps prevent bruxism.
The masseteric nerve is commonly used for zonal reinnervation of the midface,
specically for smile rehabilitation, but it can be used to replace the main trunk of

the facial nerve as well; in those cases, it may not provide sufcient facial muscle
tone at rest. The masseteric nerve contains approximately 3000 axons, fewer than
half as many as the 7000 bers within the main trunk of the facial nerve, but more
than the 900 typically found in a recipient buccal branch [2]. When the proximal
facial nerve is not available for grafting, for example in a patient with a skull base
lesion or in a patient with type 2 neurobromatosis who is likely to develop a skull
base lesion in the future, the masseteric nerve may be transferred and coapted endto- end with the main trunk of the facial nerve. In those cases, additional static suspension of the brow, nasal base, nasolabial fold, and oral commissure may provide
supplemental resting facial tone. Alternatively, an end-to-side facial to hypoglossal
nerve transfer may be preferable as an option for providing resting facial tone, with
the masseteric nerve employed specically for smile rehabilitation [3]. In addition
to replacing the facial nerve, the masseteric nerve may be used to innervate functional free muscle aps as well as to reinnervate the zygomaticus major muscle in
cases of either chronic accid or spastic facial paralysis [4, 5]. When employed for
reinnervation in patients with spasticity, concomitant selective neurectomy of synkinetic facial nerve branches may improve outcomes [6].
Locating the masseteric nerve is technically less challenging in cases of accid
paralysis because maintaining the integrity of the nearby facial nerve branches is of
minimal clinical concern; when performed in patients with residual facial tone,
however, frontal, zygomatic, and buccal branches may all be injured during dissection. The method of isolating the masseteric nerve described herein is based upon
measurements from the tragal cartilage, the zygomatic arch, and the parotidomasseteric fascia, which is the most reliable technique in the authors’ experience [2].
Once located, the masseteric nerve can be transferred into the buccal facial nerve
branch that controls the zygomaticus major to rehabilitate the smile. This recipient
buccal branch is typically located during exposure to the masseteric nerve, but its
identity should be veried with surface landmarks and electrical stimulation [7].
Buccal Branch Identification
Ensure that no long-acting paralytic agents will be used during induction of general
anesthesia, and inject the face with plain epinephrine for hemostasis, avoiding any
local anesthetic to prevent loss of nerve stimulation. Add 1mL of 1:1000 (1mg/mL)
epinephrine to a 100-mL bag of normal saline to produce plain 1:101,000 epinephrine. Mark the letter “P” on the paralyzed side of the face to avoid confusion while
the patient remains under general anesthesia.
1. Make an abbreviated preauricular Blair incision, running from within the tempo-
ral hair tuft down to the lobule (Fig.17.1), and raise a sub-SMAS (supercial
musculoaponeurotic system) ap extending approximately 6cm anterior to the
tragus. Facial nerve branches will become apparent, running along the masseteric fascia beyond the anterior border of the parotid gland.
2. Locate the buccal branch (Fig. 17.2) that primarily controls the zygomaticus
major muscle at Zuker’s point, halfway along a line between the root of the helix

and the oral commissure; conrm its function via electrical stimulation. This
nerve will lie superior to and in the same plane as the transverse facial vessels
and Stensen’s duct, as well as one or two other large buccal branches. Dissect
this branch proximally until it branches and then mobilize it circumferentially in
preparation for coaptation to the masseteric nerve.
Masseteric Nerve Identification
1. Mark a point on the parotidomasseteric fascia 3cm anterior to the anterior bor-
der of the tragal cartilage and 1cm inferior to the inferior margin of the zygomatic arch (Fig.17.3). This point is usually within 1cm of the buccal branch
previously identied. Incise the fascia vertically and dissect bluntly between the
bers of the masseter muscle. If the face is accidly paralyzed, the muscle can
be incised aggressively for better exposure; if the patient has facial tone, dissection should proceed more carefully to avoid injury to facial nerve branches in
the area.
