Proposed utilization of filtrate osteogenic potential. Rather than collecting only coarse osseous particles, reaming aspirate can be concentrated intraoperatively by either centrifugation or fine filtration and applied to a defect site in order to accelerate healing. Prior to reimplantation, osteoprogenitor cells within the concentrate can be treated with osteogenic stimuli.
