[Our experiences with the Kiel type heterolog conserved bone graft (author's transl)]

The authors survey data in the medical literature on Kiel type heterolog conserved bones and report their own experiences. Forty-nine cases altogether, the authors grafted bone manufactured by the Braun firm, in seven patients; a Kiel type bone conserved by the method of the authors in forty-two patients; The grafts were used mostly in patients with solitaer bone cysts, in a smaller number in patients with bone cavities following impression fractures, pseudarthrosis and arthrodesis. Their results were excellent, minor complications occured in only four cases. Finally some up-to-date problems of bone grafting, regeneration are discussed in this paper.
