Popis: Autologous platelet concentrate and cryoprecipitate, mixed to obtain a gel, have been successful in various operations, primarily oral and maxillofacial surgery. This study assessed the use of platelet gel in 19 patients undergoing 22 reconstructive bone surgical procedures. After a median follow-up of 12.9 months, improved osteoblastic reaction and reconstruction of physiologic bone structure was observed in all patients with no adverse reactions. These findings confirm the osteoinductive property of platelet gel in reconstructive bone surgery.
