Abstract

See full text

A shaped particle for use in an array of interlocking particles to repair, replace, improve or augment a bone deficiency is provided. The particle is comprised of bone material and, in a preferred embodiment, has six extremities, and the interstitial spaces between the extremities of one particle accept the extremities of an adjacent particle in an array. In a preferred embodiment, the bone material is demineralized bone material. In some embodiments, the particle is suspended in a material that facilitates application of the particle to bone, and the material may contain biological factors that augment bone growth or prevent infection.
