Comparison of autogenous bone graft and endothermic calcium phosphate cement for defect augmentation in tibial plateau fractures. A multicenter, prospective, randomized study
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2008 Oct;90(10):2057-61119 patients presenting with acute, closed, unstable tibial plateau fractures (120 fractures) were randomized to undergo standard open reduction and internal fixation with either a bioresorbable calcium phosphate cement (alpha-BSM) or an autogenous iliac bone graft. The results after a 12 month follow-up indicated that the use of alpha-BSM was superior in reducing articular subsidence compared to autogenous iliac bone graft.
