Although autogenous bone graft has been shown to be useful in the treatment of distal radius fractures, the role of bone graft substitutes and the optimal replacement material remains unclear. Several products are commercially available, each with differing osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and structural properties. Indications and choice of graft substitute should be based on the needs of the individual case with regard to need for structural support, gap filling, or bone healing stimulation. Further comparative research will help clarify the indications and most appropriate material for a given fracture and clinical situation.
