Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) was used to determine the fate of the bone gr aft in cleft lip and palate patients. Eight right-sided unilateral cle ft lip and palate patients from the Free University Hospital in Amster dam, treated with early, secondary bone grafting, were evaluated immed iately after the operation and 1 year postoperatively. Approximately 7 0% of the volume of transplanted iliac crest bone was still present in the cleft area after 1 year.
