Autogenous bone grafting from proximal tibia in elective foot and ankle surgery

Proximal tibial bone graft: the volume of cancellous bone, and strength of decancellated tibias by the medial approach

“…Previous studies using the lateral approach to harvest bone graft from the proximal tibia found that the non-compressed volume was 5-42 ml 3,9,10,14,21 and compressed cancellous bone was 3.5-15 ml 4,9,14 . For the medial approach, previous studies showed the volume of non-compressed bone grafts ranged from 14 to 40 ml 6,7,20 and from 12 to 35 ml for the compressed bone volume 5,7,12 , which are higher than those of the present study.…”

Primary Isolated Subtalar Arthrodesis: Outcome after 2 to 5 Years Followup

“…Cancellous bone graft was harvested from the lateral proximal tibia of the ipsilateral leg using the technique described by Vienne and collegues. 38 After drilling the joint surfaces of the subtalar joint with a 2-mm drill bit, the harvested cancellous bone graft was placed into the joint space. Two 6.5-mm cancellous compression screws with a 16-mm thread were inserted across the joint from the calcaneal tuberosity.…”

Proximal Medial Tibial Bone Graft Harvesting in Foot and Ankle Surgery

“…11 With either of these approaches, there is no difference with regard to the clinical results or the complications. 6,12 Soohoo and Cracchiolo 8 have quoted 93% union rate in foot and ankle procedures with PTBGH and confirm difficulties with lateral approach. Vienne et al 12 have reported high patient satisfaction with lateral approach and suggested that it can be done under local or locoregional anesthesia.…”
