COREX Case Studies
Explore how surgeons are using COREX to harvest cancellous bone graft using a minimally invasive technique.
Discover How Easy it Is To Make Autologous Bone Your First Choice for Bone Graft
A minimally invasive technique combined with COREX addresses the traditional issues that contribute to harvest site morbidity including incision size, soft tissue stripping, and cortical disruption.
Case Study 1: Distal Tibia Harvest
