Subject: togost bone graft?

She had a minimally invasive approach of right far lateral decompression of L5 nerve root, removal of facet, a transforaminal interbody fusion of L5-S1 using cage and also BMP and posterior-lateral instrumention using the SIA pedicle screws and also the percutaneous fossa bone mark facet screw system with harvest of a togus bone graft in the same incision. 


Anyone want to take a crack at proofing this and guessing what a "togus" bone graft might be?
