title: Bone graft placement by modified plastic syringe.
abstract: Several fracture patterns with resulting bony defects require augmentation with bone graft or other orthobiologics. Accurate placement of graft may be difficult when the area to be augmented is not readily accessible. In such a case, a quickly modified 3-mL plastic syringe may be a useful and efficient delivery method for accurate placement and impacting of the graft.
