Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to compare fracture healing, quality of life, pain, and cost of care of the use of CERAMENT™\|BONE VOID FILLER as bone graft substitute to the use of autologous cancellous bone graft (iliac crest) in the treatment of patients with tibia fractures treated by internal fixation and void reconstruction.

* polytrauma patients
* compartment syndrome
* previous iliac crest bone graft harvesting
* local infection at the site of implantation
* chronic pain disease
* malignancy

* known hyperthyroidism or autonomous thyroid adenoma
* history of serious reaction to iodine based radio contrast agents
* women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
* irreversible coagulopathy or bleeding disorder
* history of physical or psychological condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational device or render the patient at high risk from treatment complications
