Clinical experience with the artificial bone graft substitute Calcibon used following curettage of benign and low-grade malignant bone tumors

Abstract Artificial bone graft substitutes, such as Calcibon, are becoming increasingly interesting as they do not cause donor site morbidity which is an advantage compared to autologous bone grafts. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and potential complications associated with the u...
