title: [Use of lyophilized homologous spongy bone in tibial head fractures].
abstract: 30 comminutive fractures of the tibial head which all needed bone grafting beside the internal fixation of the fracture, have been investigated, autogenic material having been used 19 times, allogenic 11 times. The results of the grafting, controlled 1 1/2 to 7 years later, are in both groups absolutely identical. Freeze-drying of cancellous allogenic bone produces osteogenic grafting material of low antigenicity. Its use in filling bone defects (bone cysts, fractures) is recommended.
