Abstract
The RIA (Reamer Irrigator Aspirator) is designed for autologous bone graft harvest, intramedullary debridement and reaming for endomedular nails in adults. Femoral bone graft harvest can be performed through antegrade or retrograde intraarticular entry points, both with known complications. The objective of this article is to describe a safe and reproducible method of harvest using this device through a lateral epicondyle extraarticular entry point.
