After this exhibit, learners will acquire understanding of: 1) Radiographic appearances of common current devices/techniques for filling bone defects/augmentation and 2) Illustrate radiographic appearances of common complications from these techniques.

We will examine the imaging appearances of common bone defect filling/augmentation techniques and their complications, including: 1) Autografts: e.g. iliac crest, fibula shaft for glenoid reconstruction. 2) Allografts: e.g. cadaveric transplants, osteochondral allograft for osteochondral defects, intercalary graft for tumor resection, whole joint allograft for arthritis or tumor, morselized bone. 3) Manufactured implants and bone graft substitutes: e.g. titanium wedge, methyl methacrylate, calcium sulfate, hydroxyapatite. 4) Biologicals: e.g. bone morphogenetic protein and tissue growth factor-derived products 5) Distraction osteogenesis: e.g. finger distraction and reconstruction, leg lengthening with Ilizarov device.
