  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR BONE REGENERATION
    Publication number: 20100076501
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for adapting a bone graft implantable into a host bone for promoting host bone regeneration, the method comprising providing a bone graft comprising bone material and having a surface contactable with a host bone; and adapting at least a portion of the surface to produce a surface roughness similar to the roughness of a fracture surface of bone. Also included is a bone graft having at least a portion of a bone graft surface with a surface roughness similar to that of a fracture surface of bone, a device for adapting bone material having a plurality of impact tips to contact a surface of the bone material to be adapted to produce a bone material surface roughness similar to the roughness of a fracture surface of bone, and use of a device to adapt a surface of a bone material, the device having an impact tip arranged to contact the surface of the bone material to adapt the surface to produce a surface roughness similar to the roughness of a fracture surface of bone.
