Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Biomaterials science

Background:

Bone defects resulting from various fracture patterns necessitate augmentation with bone graft or orthobiologics.
Accurate placement of bone graft can be challenging in non-accessible surgical sites.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a simple, cost-effective, and efficient method for delivering bone graft materials to augment bony defects.
To describe the modification of a standard plastic syringe for improved graft delivery.

Main Methods:

A 3-mL plastic syringe was modified for use as a graft delivery device.
The modified syringe was utilized for the accurate placement and impaction of bone graft material.

Main Results:

The modified syringe facilitated efficient and accurate delivery of bone graft material.
This method proved particularly useful for augmenting bone defects in areas with limited accessibility.

Conclusions:

A quickly modified 3-mL plastic syringe is a valuable tool for orthopedic surgeons.
This technique enhances the accuracy and efficiency of bone graft augmentation in challenging anatomical locations.
