| Summary: | Introduction:
A tricortical iliac crest graft can be used to reconstruct the lateral proximal tibial articular surface.
Methods/Surgical Technique:
Anterior tricortical iliac crest autograft from the ipsilateral pelvis is harvested to approximate the contour of the native tibial plateau. A lateral proximal tibial locking plate is used to fix the bony construct to the surrounding native bone.
Case Report:
Functionally, patients have been able to return to ambulation with and without an assistive device.
Conclusion:
Reconstruction of the joint surface with a tricortical iliac crest graft represents a novel surgical technique that may delay the need for arthroplasty and preserve bone stock for eventual knee replacement. |
