title: The use of non-vascularised osteochondral autograft for reconstruction of articular surfaces in the hand and wrist.
abstract: Bone loss involving articular surface is a challenging   problem faced by the orthopaedic surgeon. In the hand and wrist,   there are articular defects that are amenable to autograft reconstruction   when primary fixation is not possible. In this article, the surgical   techniques and clinical outcomes of articular reconstructions in   the hand and wrist using non-vascularised osteochondral autografts   are reviewed.
