  • Title: Bone grafting of tibial defects in primary and revision total knee arthroplasty.
    Author: Windsor RE, Insall JN, Sculco TP.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1986 Apr; (205):132-7. PubMed ID: 3516498.
    Abstract:
    Bone grafting of tibial defects in primary and revision total knee arthroplasty is performed by at least two different methods, preferably with local autogeneic bone. Incorporation of the graft occurs between four and eight months. No restriction in weight-bearing is recommended, except with repair of large defects. Bone grafting is a viable alternative to using custom tibial prostheses or excess cement, even for very large defects.
