  • Title: Nonvascularized autogenous bone graft for extensive phalangeal bone loss: case report.
    Author: Barron OA, Sohal J, McCulloch K, Chia B.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 2008 Oct; 33(8):1401-4. PubMed ID: 18929209.
    Abstract:
    A 47-year-old man, a fine woodworker, sustained extensive phalangeal and soft tissue loss of his dominant left long and index fingers in a table saw injury. We report the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of the patient following reconstruction with corticocancellous iliac crest bone grafts. Rarely described in recent literature, we believe that primary nonvascularized autogenous bone grafting for phalangeal reconstruction is a worthwhile alternative to amputation when the soft tissue envelope is satisfactory.
