For the bridging of major bone defects, a specially designed autologous cortico-cancellous chip from the iliac crest is recommended. Two cylindrical cones at both ends of the chip ensure firm interlocking with the bone. In combination with plate osteosynthesis, stability is achieved. Three typical traumatological examples illustrate the application and success of the procedure.
