Hindfoot arthrodesis is a frequently performed procedure by foot and ankle surgeons. The relatively high nonunion rate associated with these procedures has led surgeons to use adjunctive bone graft to help augment osseous union. Cellular bone allografts are a specific type of graft that incorporates osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic properties while also eliminating the common disadvantages of autografts and traditional allografts. This article discusses the role of cellular bone allografts in hindfoot arthrodesis procedures, a review of current literature, and a comparison of available products.
