This study presents a novel surgical technique using an acetabular reamer to harvest abundant cancellous bone graft for bony defects. The method offers an easy, low-pain, and low-bleeding option for bone reconstruction, excluding elderly or osteopenic individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Bone Grafting Techniques

Background:

  • Significant bony defects require substantial bone graft material for effective reconstruction.
  • Current methods for obtaining cancellous bone graft can be limited in quantity or associated with significant morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel technique for harvesting large volumes of morselized cancellous bone graft.
  • To evaluate the advantages of this technique for treating significant bony defects.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an acetabular reamer positioned against the outer wall of the posterior pelvis.
  • Harvested morselized cancellous bone graft for filling bony defects.

Main Results:

  • The technique facilitates the procurement of copious amounts of homogeneous cancellous bone graft.

  • The procedure is associated with ease of performance, minimal postoperative pain, and reduced bleeding.

    • Conclusions:

    • This technique provides an effective method for obtaining large quantities of cancellous bone graft.
    • It is a suitable option for patients requiring significant bone reconstruction, but contraindicated in elderly or osteopenic patients.
