A bone grafting technique in reconstructive joint arthroplasty.
A technique of creating a cement model of large osseous defects to use in carving bone grafts in total joint arthroplasties is presented. The benefits of making bulk grafts in this way include: (1) less settling; (2) stability of the grafts for prosthetic fitting; (3) increased contact between the graft and host, enhancing incorporation of the graft.
