“I'm worried donor rib cartilage might cause side effects. Are there any?” There's always some chance. Naturally, since it isn't cartilage from your own body, there is a chance of inflammation, under 1% or so, but does that mean that if you use your own cartilage,
the chance of inflammation is absolutely zero? No, it isn't. If you put the two side by side and both were available, of course I'd prefer to use your own cartilage, but when it's used as an alternative because there's no other choice,
I think it can be an excellent alternative. And its complication rate isn't all that different from your own cartilage, so I think you can feel comfortable going with it.
