Bioactive Glass Graft vs Allograft in Benign Bone Lesions: A Retrospective Comparative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bioactive glass (BG) is a promising alternative to conventional autogenous and allogeneic bone grafts with osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and antimicrobial properties. The effects of its use in comparison to allograft in the context of benign bone lesions remain less explored.

Purpose

We sought to compare the efficacy of 45S5 BG granules to allograft in treating benign bone lesions.

Methods

This retrospective study compared the outcomes of 45S5 BG granules and allograft bone in 42 patients undergoing curettage for benign bone lesions. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the graft material used (n = 21 in each group). Radiological evaluation using the modified Neer classification and functional assessment using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (M
