Abstract

The transplantation of cancellous bone or mixed corticocancellous grafts is often necessary when treating injuries of the peripheral skeleton. As experience has grown, indications for use of these grafts have expanded. Besides the classic indications of bone loss and comminution (tibial pilon, distal radius, etc.), attention has been directed to small defects of biomechanical importance in the radial head, the base of the first metacarpal, the tarsus, metatarsus, and other areas. Cancellous bone grafts speed fracture union and help to prevent secondary displacement and implant loosening.
