Intramedullary bone graft collection: In vivo study to evaluate blood loss and systemic inflammatory response associated with the use of the RIA 2 system compared to a novel aspirator-based harvesting concept

Objectives: This research details an innovative concept for the incremental extraction of intramedullary (IM) bone grafts using an intuitive aspiration prototype device. Initially, bone marrow is harvested using an aspirator (first method), and this is followed by a process termed the reaming-aspiration [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
