Abstract
This biomechanical study demonstrated the stability of the harvested proximal tibia under conditions of full weight bearing ambulation. It has also refined the technique of proximal bone graft harvesting by determining the maximum size of the cortical window. The findings of this study add to the overall understanding of proximal tibial bone graft harvesting, providing objective data regarding stability as well as yield. This information would be useful during selection of source of autologous bone graft.
