title: [Tibial cortical bone graft and pre-implant surgery].
abstract: In pre-implant surgery, the autologous bone graft can be harvested from various sites. The tibial diaphysis cortical bone gives a very dense graft which does not resorb. It can be crushed for sinus filling, or used in a monoblock as apposition graft or to repair alveolar cleft sequels. Its availability, its simple and speedy harvesting, and its very low morbidity make it a good choice for most pre-implant reconstructive procedures.
