Patent number: 6511509Abstract: The present invention is directed to a textured bone allograft for implantation in a patient, having one or more textured bone surfaces, and methods of making and using the textured bone graft. The textured surface preferably includes a plurality of closely spaced discrete, continuous, or a combination thereof, protrusions. The textured bone allograft is useful for repairing bone defects caused by congenital anomaly, disease, or trauma, in a patient, for example, for restoring vertical support of the anterior column. Implantation of the textured bone allograft results in improved graft stability and osteoinductivity, without a decrease in mechanical strength. The textured bone allograft does not shift, extrude or rotate, after implantation.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 1998Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignee: LifeNetInventors: Louis Ford, Lloyd Wolfinbarger, Jr., Jon C. Serbousek, Laine Mashburn, Jr.
