| 41 year-old woman with left distal tibial pilon fracture with considerable bone loss. Bone graft harvesting to replace the lost bone was done from the left femur using a DePuy Synthes RIA intramedullary bone graft harvest system. The left two images show the reamer in the left femur. The right two images show postoperative gas (arrow) from the bone harvest site. Courtesy Kellon Hansen, MD. |

| AP and lateral views of the knee show a distal femoral cadevaric limb sparing allograft approximated to the native distal femoral stump by a retrograde intramedullary nail. Two interlocking cannulated screws go through the distal portion of the nail. Cruciate ligament and capsular reattachment were performed with two interference screws and two staples in the proximal tibia and a staple in the posterior aspect of the allograft metaphysis. The patient had a non-specified distal femur sarcoma. |
