Abstract
The results of using Boplant in a series of thirty-three operations have been very disappointing. Pyrexia of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit followed operation in more than one-third of cases. There was an incidence of at least 36 per cent of failure to achieve the object of operation. Radiographic evidence of failure of incorporation was seen even in a number of clinically successful cases. As a result of this experience and of the experience of other surgeons in Winnipeg the use of Boplant has now largely been abandoned.
