Abstract

Although regarded as a gold standard, harvesting of autologous bone graft is associated with donor site morbidity and a number of complications. An alternative is allograft with limited availability as the main shortcoming. Femoral heads as allografts are now routinely obtained during total hip arthroplasty. A small but valuable amount of pure cancellous bone graft of high quality can be obtained in addition. An additional harvest site is the proximal metaphyseal region of femur. We present a simple, useful and inexpensive technique for one harvest that can be performed utilizing ordinary instruments.
