title: Critical considerations on the diagnostic appraisal, adaptation and remodelling of bone graft substitutes.
abstract: The diagnostic assessment of skeletal defects has a long-standing tradition. As a result of the development of new bone grafting materials, the demands on diagnostic assessment have also increased. The mode and quality of diagnostic appraisal are crucial to further clinical use and outcome prediction. Alongside traditional clinical and biological techniques, molecular biological methods have gained a broad scope of application and will be used even more frequently in the future.
