Abstract: BACKGROUND: The aim of this retrospective clinical study was to compare the complications after the harvest of bone from the iliac crest and the calvarium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and eighty patients were selected for this study (125 iliac crest and 55 calvarium donor sites). Data were collected from the medical records and classified as major or minor complications for each procedure. RESULTS: The highest percentage of total complications (66.4%) was recorded when the iliac crest was harvested. The highest percentage of major complications was associated with the harvest of calvarium site (14.5%), while highest percentage of minor complications was associated with the harvest of the iliac site (60.8%). CONCLUSION: Harvesting of the iliac crest was associated with the highest percentage of complications. Major complications were more observed with harvesting of the calvarium.
