Abstract
Autogenous and allogenic bone grafts are frequently used in foot and ankle surgery. Indications may include treatment of nonunions, acute fractures, arthrodesis procedures, and reconstructive osteotomies. Proper perioperative management of these procedures requires a through understanding of the radiographic changes that occur after bone grafting. This article describes normal and abnormal radiographic presentations in both the recipient and donor sites after bone graft surgery.
