Abstract

In this commentary, I discuss Drake et al.'s manuscript, "Outcomes of Autologous versus Irradiated Homologous Costal Cartilage Grafts in Rhinoplasty"1 and its greater implications for cartilage selection for grafting in septorhinoplasty. The authors provide a robust institutional example of the similarities shared between both autologous costal cartilage and irradiated homologous costal cartilage in terms of warping, infection, resorption, and overall result possible. This study adds to the current body of literature regarding this topic and helps surgeons make better, evidence-based decisions regarding cartilage grafting for their rhinoplasty patients.
