CONT

L'autogreffe reste la technique de référence pour effectuer du comblement osseux, mais elle ne permet d'utiliser que des volumes osseux limités [...]. Il est donc nécessaire de faire appel à d'autres matériaux de comblement. Le matériau idéal [...] n'existe pas. Le choix de tel ou tel substitut osseux se fait en fonction de l'indication : après exérèse de tumeur, après délabrement traumatique, après descellement d'une prothèse, après une ostéotomie d'addition ou lors du traitement de scolioses étendues.
