Abstract

Autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) is considered the benchmark graft for nonunion repair. However, ICBG harvest is invasive and may provide reduced benefit to elderly patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of ICBG use in fixation of fracture nonunions between elderly and nonelderly patients.
