Proximal Tibia Bone Graft: An alternative Donor Source especially for Foot and Ankle Procedures
1Department of Orthopedics, Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Perak, Malaysia.
Abstract:
Bone graft is essential in various orthopaedic procedures. Among the many donor sites for harvesting autologous bone graft, the iliac crest has been the most commonly used. However, for foot and ankle procedures the proximal tibia has gained popularity as an alternative donor site due to its anatomic proximity to the primary surgical site. In this article we evaluated the possible complications associated with harvesting proximal tibia bone graft. Our study showed the low incidence of morbidity in harvesting proximal tibia bone graft, thereby providing a good alternative donor for foot and ankle procedures.
