Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Bone Grafting Techniques

Background:

Autogenous bone grafting is a preferred method in foot and ankle surgery.
Alternative materials like allogeneic bone exist but are often secondary choices.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the surgical technique for obtaining calcaneal bone grafts.
To evaluate the morbidity associated with calcaneal bone graft procurement.

Main Methods:

Surgical technique for calcaneal bone graft procurement detailed.
Review of twenty-five cases involving calcaneal bone grafts.

Main Results:

The calcaneus serves as a viable donor site for corticocancellous or cancellous bone.
Morbidity from calcaneal bone graft harvesting is compared favorably to other sites.
