1. Easy fixation of the posterior bone plug is possible in the tight medial compartment. 2. Secure fixation is achieved through bone-to-bone healing. 3. Only the posterior bone socket rather than the transtibial tunnel is needed. |
1. There would be still concern about healing potential between the posterior bone shell of the graft and bone. 2. Making 2-mm-deep posterior bone shell is sometimes technically demanding and learning curve is in play. |
