In approximately half of our study population, the use of the RIA technique for autologous bone graft harvesting in cases of segmental bone loss resulted in a successful outcome with bone healing. Defect size seems to be a critical issue regarding the outcome. Although our results are less promising than previously published, the RIA technique has its place in the treatment algorithm of segmental bone defects.
