title: A simple fail-safe method for the harvesting of cranial bone.
abstract: The technique of cranial bone graft harvesting with the sagittal saw is described. With this technique regular bone grafts of any size can be obtained. Bone-graft size dictates the technique to be used. Small grafts (less than 3.0 cm in shortest dimension) are harvested in situ, while larger grafts are harvested by formal craniectomy.
