The pubic bone graft.
We introduce a new technique for harvesting cancellous bone, the pubic bone graft. The pubic bone graft is a predictable and efficient technique that yields an ample harvest of rich cancellous bone. With experience gained from multiple fresh cadaver dissections, we present this technique in detail, including our most recent clinical application to graft alveolar clefts and its advantages over the traditional technique of bone graft harvesting.
