Report of two cases of bone allograft in a open fractures of femur with massive bone loss

ABSTRACT

Treatment of bone loss in the open fracture of femur is a problem. Bone allograft is a new way and it introduces the short outcome of the use of bone allograft for large bone defect of femur. The goal of this study was to assess bone allograft in open fractures of femur with bone loss. Both of our subjects were young active traumatized patients that had open supracondylar fracture with bone loss. They were treated using bone allograft that was prepared from bone bank. In spite of the other route for treating bone loss of femur, this technique is safe and has fewer side effects. It seems that bone allograft will be more popular in the future, especially in the treatment of open fracture of the femur
