Autologous bone is harvested from the patient's pelvic bone (iliac crest) and provides the spinal fusion with a calcium scaffolding for the new bone to grow on (conduction). In addition, autologous bone also contains bone-growing cells (osteoblasts) and bone-growing proteins (bone morphogenic proteins). I have always typed it morphogenic.
