Abstract :

The incidence of proximal tibia fractures occur only in 5%-11% of all tibia shaft fractures and often result from high impetus trauma commonly seen in motor vehicle accidents.Repairing a bone defect, healing of a nonunion, or surgery for the malunited fracture often requires bone grafting. There is a notable interest among orthopaedic surgeons to learn whether the bone callus can be used as an autograft material.
