J-bone graft with double locking plate: a symphony of mechanics and biology for atrophic distal femoral non-union with bone defect

Abstract Objective Atrophic distal femur non-union with bone defect (ADFNBD) has been a worldwide challenge to treat due to the associated biological and mechanical problems. The purpose of this study was to introduce a new solution involving the use of a J-shaped iliac crest bone graft (J-bone) com...
