Measure
Recombinant Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2
The patient will receive rhBMP-2 plus allograft chips in the bone defect site. Intervention type: surgical recombinant bone morphogenetic protein 2: Patients will receive 1.50 mg/ml -12 mg of rhBMP-2 soaked on a absorbable collagen sponge (rhBMP-2/ACS) as an adjuvant to a freeze-dried cancellous allograft
Autogenous Iliac Crest Bone Graft
Bone will be harvested from the iliac crest and placed in the bone defect. Autogenous iliac crest bone graft: Patients will undergo autogenous iliac crest bone graft surgery per the surgeon's usual practice.
