Radiographic Findings and Clinical Outcomes After Bone Grafting Patellar Defect in ACL Reconstruction

All patients will be randomly assigned using a computer randomization algorithm to one of two matched cohort groups. Patients will not be advised which group they belong to until after the completion of the study. One group will be treated with autologous bone graft for bone patellar-tendon bone (BTB) Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR), and the other group will be treated with commercially available DBM (Demineralized bone matrix) putty. Patients will be enrolled from Banner University. Before and after surgery, patient reported outcomes including visual analog pain scale (VAS), Tegner-Lysholm and Cincinnati ACL Test. The principal investigator will evaluate the patients on subjective criteria such as pain and objective criteria including range of motion, arthritic changes seen on radiographs, infection, and ability to kneel.

ABM/P-15 Bone Graft vs Traditional Bone Graft in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery

The purpose of this prospective trial is to investigate ABM/P-15 bone graft versus traditional bone graft in patients undergoing surgery for Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) in order to provide better clinical results through faster bone healing, no additional surgeries, fewer complications and thereby increase health-related quality of life. Main hypotheses: 1. The use of ABM/P-15 bone graft is superior to traditional bone graft treatment regarding the incidence of additional surgeries following index surgery for ASD Secondary hypotheses: 2. The investigators expect non-inferiority in patient reported outcome measures in the ABM/P-15 bone graft group compared to the control group 3. The investigators expect non-inferiority in the postoperative fusion rates (bone healing) evaluated on CT scans in the ABM/P-15 bone graft group compared to the control group 4. The investigators expect non-inferiority in postoperative incidence of asymptomatic pseudarthrosis in the ABM/P-15 bone graft group compared to the control group 5. The investigators expect non-inferiority in perioperative complications in ABM/P-15 bone graft group compared to the control group 6. The investigators expect the use of ABM/P-15 bone graft to be cost-efficient compared to the traditional treatment in the control group
