Outcomes of autologous bone grafts <i>vs</i> bone substitutes in tibial plateau fractures: A meta-analysis
Bone substitutes provide similar structural outcomes to autologous bone grafts while having better procedural advantages in tibial plateau fracture management. These findings support bone substitutes as a viable option across fracture patterns. Future studies should focus on specific bone substitute formulations and cost-effectiveness analyses.
