Abstract
30 patients were operated upon using Surgibone (Bovine Xenograft) for purpose of providing osteogenic stimulation and mechanical support. Good to excellent results were obtained in 93% of cases highlighting the efficacy of this bone graft. Its use can hence circumvent the associated morbidity of bone graft harvest and yet perform as effectively as autologous bone graft. Its high cost, however, restricts its use to specialised centres and institutional practice.Entities:
