Microbial contamination assessment of cryostored autogenous cranial bone flaps: should bone biopsies or swabs be performed?

abstract：:27 cases of cranioplasty with autogenous bone grafts stored in a deep-freezer and autoclaved before use are reported. The results of follow-up for an average period of one year were satisfactory from the standpoint of brain protection and cosmetic reconstruction. A small area of absorption of grafted bone was observed...
