Subspecialty Theme Collection – July
Bone graft substitutes are an attractive alternative to cadaveric allograft and autograft. Surgeons currently have a wide choice of commercially available products, with new products reaching the market at a rapid rate.
The articles in July’s Subspecialty Theme Collection review the basic science and classes of bone graft substitutes, as well as current trends in a variety of orthopaedic subspecialties. Level 1 evidence for the use of bone graft substitutes in orthopaedic surgery is lacking. The orthopaedic community will be challenged to develop appropriate clinical guidelines in this rapidly evolving area.
