Surface-demineralized, frozen Cortical Struts are longitudinal sections of cortical bone from canine tibia, radius, or femur. They will have a flat to semi-round cross-section.
Advantages
- Available in different sizes.
- Not generally available as autograft.
- Can be trimmed to fit the receiving site.
- Biological repair – fuses with, and eventually replaced by, the recipient’s own bone.
Common Applications
- Spinal fusions, periodontics (Cancellous Blocks, Cortical Segments)
- Void filling (Cancellous Blocks, Cortical Segments)
- Bone loss (Cortical Segments)
- Buttressing to augment existing weak bone structure (Cortical Struts)
- Filling large alveoli
