    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1991 Oct; 44(7):483-5. PubMed ID: 1954510.
    Abstract:
    Chondroplast, bovine irradiated glutaraldehyde preserved cartilage, has been available in the UK for facial contour surgery since 1986. Eighteen patients who had implants for nasal reconstruction during a 3-year period were reviewed. The mean follow up was 21 months. There was a high rate of graft loss with significant resorption in 7 cases, and loss from infection in 4. There was survival of graft in 7 cases. A prospective study is recommended to determine the reliability of this graft material in reconstructive surgery.
