    The Effect of Autoclaving on Normal and Sarcomatous Bone Cells and on Graft Incorporation

    The use of autoclaved bone goes back to the early part of this century. Groves, in 1917, used autoclaved bone when he ran out of autogenous bone to complete his grafts. In 1938, Orell u.sed what he calls “Os P...
