Abstract:
Bone defects are a very common problem in hand surgery and in wrist surgery. Bone allografts may be used instead of autologous bone graft to avoid donor site morbidity. Flexor and extensor tendon injuries significantly impact a patient’s quality of life, resulting in significant functional deficits; soft tissue allografts may be used instead of autologous grafts as well.
