Summary:New partially demineralized Perfoost allografts were used for the treatment of nasal septum defects in 16 patients admitted to the Research and Clinical Otorhinolarygological Centre, Federal Healthcare and Social Development Agency, between January 2007 and November 2008. The length of the follow-up period varied from 6 months to 1 year 10 months. The plastic material manufactured in the form of plates of different size was obtained from the bank of autografts based at the Central Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics. Long-term monitoring of major physiological functions of the nose and rhinopneumetric studies showed that that Perfoost allografts were well tolerated by the patients; their application ensured excellent functional and aesthetic outcome of surgical correction of the injured nasal septum in all cases under observation.
