Abstract
The beneficial effect upon osteogenesis of imprenating bone grafts with autologous red marrow is well documented. The experimental findings reported in a previous paper suggested that prepared xenograft bone might provide a good medium for osteogenesis by marrow cells. This paper is a preliminary report of the first clinical attempt to use xenografts of bone combined with autologous red marrow. Kiel bone, which was found the most suitable, was impregnated with marrow aspirated from the iliac crest and, apart from one case of infection, gave excellent results in twenty-eight patients under conditions covering a wide range of indications for bone grafting. Further trials should allow a more valid assessment.Keywords
