Allograft bone struts can be used in the treatment of bone defects that have failed to heal (non-unions), especially when there is a need for additional mechanical support. The strut is placed over the non-union site to provide stability and facilitate bone healing.

Specification Clinical Support

The pilot study investigated the use of cortical allograft strut augmented with Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for treating long bone non-union in the lower limb, with results showing all non-unions united post-op, no revisions or complications, and an average healing time of 4.6 months.
This study demonstrated that resistant non-unions of the distal femur could be successfully treated using a combination of cortical allograft struts, autogenous iliac crest bone grafting, and locking plate osteosynthesis. It suggests that this approach provides strong structural support and enhances healing.
The study aimed to evaluate the use of the sandwich technique with two-strut allografts for the treatment of femoral nonunion. The results demonstrated that this method effectively achieved union in all cases within a mean period of 6.2 months, suggesting that this technique is a promising treatment option for femoral nonunion.
