Human cadaveric allograft (HCA) and costal cartilage autograft (CCA) have been described for reconstruction during rhinoplasty. Neither are ideal due to infection, resorption, donor site morbidity. The clear superiority of 1 graft over the other has not yet demonstrated. This study assesses comparative costs associated with current grafting materials better explore cost ceiling a theoretical tissue engineered implant.A utility analysis was performed.
