Healing of a Large Nonossifying Fibroma After Grafting With Bone Matrix and Marrow

Abstract

Healing of a large tibial nonossifying fibroma in a 12-5 ear-old girl occurred following excision, curettage, and filling of the bony defect with human demineralized bone matrix powder mixed with a small quantity of the patients bone marrow. The use of this graft composite was successful in the treatment of the lesion and reduced the potential risk and morbidity associated with pediatric orthopedic surgical procedures with autogeneic iliac crest and other bone grafts
