Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term morbidity associated with iliac crest bone harvesting at the age of 3–6 months. This bone was taken for early bony reconstruction in alveolar clefts. In 40 patients with an average follow-up of 6 years, no problems were noted by the parents. In 11 patients randomly subjected to clinical examination, muscle testing, joint mobility measurements, and gait analysis, there were no complications or abnormalities of any kind.
