Mayo clinic tests new bone graft method against standard approach

This study compares two methods of collecting bone graft material: from the pelvic bone (iliac crest) and from the shin bone (proximal tibia) using a product called Avitus. Researchers want to see if the cells and bone-growth factors from the shin are as good as those from the pelvis. The study involves 12 adults who need bone graft for foot or ankle surgery.
