Summary: | The use of autogenous bone graft is a well-known technique for reconstruction of tibial bone defects in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In cases where the size of the bone graft is inappropriate, the stability of bone graft fixation and subsequent bone graft to host bone incorporation may be compromised. We describe a simple and reliable technique of reconstruction in a proximal tibia bone defect at the time of primary TKA by using autogenous onlay bone graft (AOBG).
Records were reviewed of 19 patients (mean age, 72 years) who underwent primary TKA using AOBG without the additional allogenous bone or metal augments, between August 2013 and August 2014.
Mean Knee Society score (KSS) in the 22 knees was significantly higher postoperatively than preoperatively (92 ± 4 vs. 30 ± 7, P |
