COMPARISON OF ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR ILIAC CREST BONE GRAFTS IN TERMS OF HARVEST-SITE MORBIDITY AND FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES

Abstract
Background:Previous studies have demonstrated high complication rates after harvest of iliac crest bone grafts. This study was undertaken to compare the morbidity related to the harvest of anterior iliac crest bone graft with that related to the harvest of posterior iliac crest bone graft and to det
