True or False: Autograft bone harvested with the OsteoAuger Bone Graft Harvesting System contains the patient’s own viable cells necessary for bone growth.

The statement is true because the OsteoAuger Bone Graft Harvesting System is designed to collect autograft bone, which is taken from the same patient. When bone is harvested using this system, it retains viable cellular components, including osteoblasts and other key cells that are crucial for bone growth and healing. This means that the graft possesses the biological activity necessary to promote integration and regeneration in the recipient site.

In contrast, options suggesting it is false, depends on the technique, or is only applicable in some patients do not accurately reflect the inherent nature of autograft bone, which is specifically known for its ability to promote healing due to its viable cells. This cell viability is a primary reason that autografts are often considered the gold standard for bone grafting procedures.
