Abstract: Timely incorporation of bone grafts is essential to the structural rigidity in most foot and ankle surgeries. Although bovine-based xenografts possess some of the key features necessary for foot and ankle surgery, the studies evaluating the efficacy of these grafts are limited. The aim of the present study was to determine the incorporation rate of bovine-based bone grafts in foot surgery.
