Morselized Femoral Head Impaction Bone Grafting of Large Defects in Ankle and Hindfoot Fusions
Impaction of morselized femoral head allograft can fill large bony voids around the ankle or hindfoot during fusion, with rapid graft incorporation and no graft collapse despite early loading. This technique offers satisfactory and comparable union outcomes without limb shortening or expensive custom 3D-printed metal cages.
