Abstract
Bone grafting has over 100 years of successful clinical use. Despite the successes of autograft bone transplantation, complications of bone grafting are significant, mostly at the donor site. This article reviews the biology of fracture healing, the properties of bone grafts, and reviews the specific advantages and problems associated with autograft bone. Recent techniques such as the Reamer Irrigator Aspirator are described, which has dramatically reduced complications of bone autograft harvesting.Entities:
