Abstract:
Following a post-traumatic incident, orthopaedic surgeons often struggle to look for an abundant source of alternative bone graft because the bone defect is too big or when nonunion is refractory to treatment. We present two cases where the patients' bone grafts were harvested from the healthy femur. This process involved the use of a new intramedullary reamer, which allowed the bone graft to be harvested simultaneously during the reaming process.
