ABSTRACT
CASE Autologous bone grafting has wide applications for the treatment of bony defects. Generally, cancellous or corticocancellous bone grafts are used depending on the characteristics and size of the bony defect and wound bed. The use of heterotopic bone as a potential source of bone graft has not been widely reported. We present a 56-year-old right-hand-dominant male victim of dog mauling who sustained a right ulnar fracture with a 5-cm bony defect, treated with the use of heterotopic bone autograft. CONCLUSION:
Heterotopic bone can be successfully used as an autograft in the treatment of bony defects.
