Cortical plate allograft is often used in procedures that utilise the shell technique. The shell technique involves securing a thin plate of cortical bone to the host site to create a biological container that maintains the necessary space required for bone graft particulates to be implanted. Cortical plate allograft has the added benefit of being readily available; eliminating the need to create a second surgical site in order to harvest the patient’s own cortical bone.
