From: Autologous bone grafts with MSCs or FGF-2 accelerate bone union in large bone defects
Atrophic non-union model of a large bone defect. In each rat, the bilateral femoral shafts were used for harvesting of the autologous bone graft. The mid-shaft of the femur was surgically removed and used as an autologous bone graft, 10 mm in length. The autologous bone removed from the right femur was transplanted to the left femur, and the left side was transplanted to the right side
