[Vitalised allogenic cancellous bone in the treatment of segmental defects of the tibia after distraction osteogenesis: two case reports].
Two case reports are presented in which segmental defects of the tibia after distraction osteogenesis have been filled with vitalised allogenic cancellous bone. Bone healing was achieved within three months. The effectiveness of this method for treating segmental defects of limbs should be investigated by means of prospective randomised trials.
