Abstract
The present invention provides biocompatible, non-resorbable porous containment structures for containment of bone graft material at a desired location for stimulation of bone growth. The porous containment structures have interconnected pores sized to allow fibrovascular integration with surrounding tissue and conduction of vascular tissue through the structure into the bone graft material.
