A particulate bone allograft, either a mineralized cancellous bone, 62,118 freeze‐dried bone allograft, 62,66,92,107,110,112 demineralized freeze‐dried bone allograft, 17,91,92,116,117 or a combination of the latter two, 50,72,107,115 was used in 23 study arms. Fifteen treatment arms involved the application of a xenograft, either bovine bone mineral, 60,70,77,106,114,116,119 porcine bone mineral, 51,77,111 or a bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen 78,113,114,117 .…”
