Morselized Allograft Graft

- see:  structural bone grafts:

- Discussion:
     - can be used to help recreate bone stock w/ protrusio, cavitary, or medial wall deficiency;
     - cannot be expected to provide ingrowth or stability, but over time the morselized graft can undergo revascularization and remodeling;
     - antiprotrusio cage or gap cup can be placed over the graft;
