Abstract
Orthopedics | Autologous Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator bone grafting represents a safe and efficient procedure to treat fracture nonunions of long bones. Traditional techniques for harvesting autologous iliac crest bone graft often yield less than adequate amounts of bone graft. When an insufficient quantity of iliac crest bone graft is obtained, additional harvest sites need to be used, thereby increasing theKeywords
