The use of autograft bone is the best option
when undertaking a procedure that requires bone graft because it
is osteogenic, osteoconductive and osseo-inductive. Pain, morbidity
and complications associated with harvesting iliac or non-iliac
sites occur in between 6% and 30% of cases. An alternative source
of graft with possibly a lower morbidity is the intramedullary canal.
In this study, 28 patients undergoing 30 arthrodesis procedures
on the hindfoot had a mean of 48 cm. 3 . (43 to 50) of bone
harvested locally from the hindfoot or the tibial shaft by antegrade or
retrograde reaming. No patient sustained a fracture of the calcaneum,
talus or tibia. There was no morbidity except for one complication
when the reamer breached the medial tibial cortex. This healed uneventfully. . This method of using the reamer–irrigator–aspirator system is
an extension of the standard technique of intramedullary reaming
of the lower limb: it produces good-quality bone graft with viable
growth factors consistent with that of the iliac crest, and donor
site morbidity is low. This is an efficient method of obtaining
autologous bone for use in arthrodesis of the
