Bone Graft & Bone Graft Substitutes AAOS “In contrast to results using interbody structural allografts placed under compression, results using posterior non-structural allografts placed under tension are less positive. Allograft is considered a poor alternative to autograft in this situation and usually is considered only as a bone graft supplement.”
Growing Bone conductive Osteo inductive genesis
Summary: Autologus Adult, Stem Cell Concentrate • Bone marrow can easily & quickly be harvested from the iliac crest • Adult Stem Cells can be separated from bone marrow & concentrated by a simple device in the OR • Concentrated Adult Stem Cells combined with scaffold • Reduces the need for autograft • Reduces donor site morbidity • Provides a renewable source of osteogenic stem cell • Lowers cost alternative to BMP
