Treatment of nonunions of the distal phalanx with olecranon bone graft
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 10/28/09

Ozcelik IB et al. – Olecranon bone grafting combined with Kirschner wire fixation was done in all patients. The mean follow up was 7 months. There were no major complications at the donor or recipient sites. One patient had a haematoma formation at the donor site. There was complete radiological union of bone–grafted sites in all patients except one. There were no cases of pain, deformity, or instability after the treatment. The olecranon bone graft was found to be safe and easy to harvest. Its strong tubular structure replaced the distal phalanx successfully.
