Treatment of 10-mm-Deep or Greater Uncontained Tibial Bone Defects in Primary Total Knee Reconstruction without Metal Augmentation: Autologous Oblique Structural Peg Bone and Cancellous Chip Bone Grafting

CONCLUSIONS: Even in patients with uncontained tibial bone defects ≥ 10-mm deep in primary total knee replacement, if the defect occupies less than 30% of the cut surface, autologous oblique structural peg bone and cancellous chip bone grafting can be used to achieve satisfactory outcomes with a standard tibial stem and no metal augmentation.PMID:34094007 | PMC:PMC8173235 | DOI:10.4055/cios20079
