Autologous bone grafting represents the gold standard modality to treat atrophic non-unions
by virtue of its osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties. The common harvest site is …

The “Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator”(RIA) is a device that provides continuous irrigation and
aspiration during intramedullary reaming of long bones. The RIA system is first used to …

Introduction The gold standard for treatment of non-union is the transplantation of
autologous bone from iliac crest. As an alternative, material can be harvested by femoral …

The scarcity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in iliac crest bone marrow aspirate (ICBMA),
and the expense and time in culturing cells, has led to the search for alternative harvest …

Introduction Donor-site morbidity, complications and availability remain concerns in
autologous bone grafting today. The Reamer/Irrigator/Aspirator system (RIA) provides an …

Bone reconstruction requires the use of autografts from patients' iliac crest (IC); for large-
volume defects bone void fillers and autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are often …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are of therapeutic interest to clinicians and researchers, as
they have been shown to augment the osteogenic properties of bone grafts. MSCs are …

Initially developed to reduce intramedullary pressures during long bone intramedullary nail
placement, the reamer–irrigator–aspirator (RIA) can be used to harvest large volume …

We hypothesised that cells obtained via a Reamer–Irrigator–Aspirator (RIA) system retain
substantial osteogenic potential and are at least equivalent to graft harvested from the iliac …
