       Bone grafting is a big business
       , generating sales of more than $2.5 billion a year.1 Of the
       more than 3 million musculoskeletal procedures done annually in
       the United States, about half involve bone grafting with either
       an autograft or an allograft.2 Worldwide, autografts or
       allografts are used in approximately 2.2 million orthopaedic
       procedures annually3.
