A composite allograft bone device having a first bone member body with a face
that
defines a plurality of spaced projections forming a pattern and a second bone member
body defining a face that forms a plurality of spaced projections forming a second
pattern. The projections in the first face allow the two bodies to be mated together.
The mated bodies form a composite bone device which is provided with a throughgoing
bore and a threaded rod member mounted in the throughgoing bore extending into
and engaging the bone member bodies holding the same together. Alternatively a
rod member with a demineralized or knurled outer surface can be press fit into
the throughgoing bore engaging the bone member bodies in an interference fit holding
the same together. In another embodiment an inner central cancellous bone block
is surrounded by plates or a U shaped base constructed of cortical bone material.
