This technique involves placement of a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cement spacer in a bone defect to allow growth of a vascularized membrane that promotes bone regeneration. A second stage in the method involves removing the spacer after membrane growth and replacing it with bone graft. XCO:0001532 experimental_condition_ontology slaulederkind
