Bone Marrow Grafting

Massive diaphyseal bone defect cause by trauma, infection, congenital deformity and malignancy are common and present a formidable challenge to orthopedic surgeon. In most cases, restoration of alignment and stable fixation of the bone is all that necessary to achieve a successful reconstruction. This report highlights a case of large bony defect treated with a less invasive technique call Percutaneous Bone Marrow Grafting.Our case was a 19-year old boy who was arranged for percutaneous bone marrow injection for his non-union tibia bone fracture. Serial radiographic monitoring showing bony defect area was markedly increased in bone density, and patients tolerate full weight bear after 2 months of injection.
