(A) Anatomic planes used for posterolateral bone grafting. The interval follows the posterior fibula across the interosseous membrane to the tibia. This exposure becomes more difficult in the proximal aspects of the tibia. (B) Illustration showing the position of the patient for posterolateral bone grafting, along with the preparation to harvest autograft from the posterior iliac crest. (C) Intraoperative image of the exposure along with adjunct fixation. In some cases, the fibula was used as a laterally based strut to help support the tibia. Because of the fixed angles of the bicortical screws in the fibula, they functioned similarly to the current locked plating technology. (D) Intraoperative image of the graft material covering and spanning both tibia and fibula. (E) Radiograph of a posterolateral graft at 8 months after it has healed and incorporated. Note that anterior defects may be well tolerated if an adequate posterior consolidation is achieved.

The appearance of different nonunions. Attempted bone formation about the fracture site is an attempt to stabilize the site and shows biologic capacity. Lack of any bone formation suggests the lack of vascularity and biologic potential.
