Abstract

Complex, out-of-the-ordinary problems are often encountered when evaluating patients for reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. Salvage of these complex problems in the foot and ankle often requires the use of autogenous bone grafts. This article provides a brief overview of autografts including indications, healing, graft types, and perioperative management.
