Developing an Algorithm for Optimizing Care of Elderly Patients With Glioblastoma.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Cadaveric fibula with locking plate internal fixation has been reported to be associated with fewer complications and better long-term results, compared with autologous iliac crest. With the knowledge that cortically dense allografts collapse less with time, new machined femoral ring allografts were developed...
