Method of inducing new bone growth in porous bone sites

A method of vertebroplasty which comprises injecting a vertebra having increased porosity and/or decreased bone mineral density with an effective amount of flowable bone composition, the bone being selected from the group consisting of trabecular bone and cortical bone.

A method of treating a condition in a vertebrate animal, the condition characterized by a bone having increased porosity and/or decreased bone mineral density, which comprises injecting the bone with an effective amount of a flowable bone composition, the bone being selected from the group consisting of cortical bone and trabecular bone selected from the group consisting of vertebrae, rib, clavicle, sternum, femoral neck, hip, wrist and the distal ends of the long bones.

A method of treating a condition in a vertebrate animal, the condition characterized by a bone having increased porosity and/or decreased bone mineral density, which comprises injecting the bone with an effective amount of a flowable bone composition, the bone being selected from the group consisting of trabecular bone and cortical bone, wherein the flowable bone composition is provided as a mass of particles ranging in average size from about 0.1 to about 1.2 cm.

A method of treating a condition in a vertebrate animal, the condition characterized by a bone having increased porosity and/or decreased bone mineral density, which comprises injecting the bone with an effective amount of a flowable bone composition, the bone being selected from the group consisting of trabecular bone and cortical bone, wherein the flowable bone composition includes a biocompatible liquid material selected from the group consisting of glycerol and glycerol solution as carrier or suspension agent for the flowable bone composition.
