【 摘 要 】

Category:OtherIntroduction/Purpose:Autogenous cancellous bone graft and bone marrow aspirate are commonly used in lower extremity fusion procedures. Autologous graft is considered the gold standard as it is osteogenic, osteoinductive, and osteoconductive, and is without the potential risks of graft-associated infection and immunologic reaction. Disadvantages include graft harvest time and donor site morbidity due to the surgical incision, approach and bone corticotomy. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of a novel vacuum-assisted bone graft harvesting device which was able to obtain both cancellous bone and bone marrow for insertion into the arthrodesis sites of patients undergoing complex primary and revision lower extremity fusion procedures.Methods:Between March and November 2017, 9 patients had a foot and/or ankle complex primary or revision arthrodesis performed, with autogenous cancellous graft and bone marrow harvested from the ipsilateral proximal tibia. All patients were 18 years or old...
