Freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) which either had or had not been sterilized by exposure to ethylene oxide (EtO) prior to lyophilization was obtained from two commercial sources. EtO-sterilized FDBA was reexposed to EtO as a positive control. Gas chromatograph assays revealed that three out of fou

## Abstract Demineralized bone matrix and bone morphogenetic protein have been used clinically to accelerate bone regeneration. However, the best method of sterilization has been the subject of controversy. Some investigators have used ethylene oxide, but others have reported that doses adequate fo
## Abstract The potential use of allogenic demineralized bone matrix to augment or treat bone defects or nonunios in animals and humans is currently being investigated. Demineralized bone matrix induces osteogenesis by a multistep cascade of endochondral ossification that is mediated by boneβinduct
