Excerpt
The risks associated with secondary arthritis [
2] have resulted in osteoarticular allografts becoming a second (or even third) choice behind alloprosthetic composities [
4] and megaprosthesis reconstructions. However, osteoarticular allografts do remain in use, most commonly employed in pediatric reconstructions. It is in this setting that we read the excellent work of Albergo and colleagues, which does cut somewhat against the grain, in that it describes successful long-term results using proximal tibia osteoarticular allografts. …
