The authors have used Porites coral as a bone substitute in more than 200 patients since 1985, initially for reconstruction after craniotomy or removal of graft from the iliac crest. Encouraging results have prompted wider use. No complications have occurred. The biological properties of coral are described. It is easily available and appears to be a promising bone substitute.
