Abstract

Read online

Bone autografts are frequently harvested for use in foot and ankle surgery. A commonly used harvest site is the iliac crest; however, because of known morbidity with this site, the tibia and calcaneus are attractive alternatives. There remains limited understanding regarding the osteogenic potential of autografts from each of these locations. In this review, we provided an update of the known data on bone autografts from the iliac crest, tibia, and calcaneus, focusing on the total cells harvested from each site as well as the presence of osteogenic osteoprogenitor cells. Level of Evidence: Level V, expert opinion.
