Abstract
Surgically implantable shaped materials, e.g., sheets, are fabricated from elongate bone particles, advantageously those that have been demineralized. The materials when applied to a bone repair site enhance or accelerate new bone ingrowth by any one of a variety of biological and/or mechanical mechanisms.
