The surgery was performed by Franco Vigna, MD, an orthopedic surgeon with Spine Surgery of Buffalo Niagara in Niagara Falls, N.Y. 

The implant was designed to be a safe alternative to autograft. It supplies osteogenesis, osteoinduction and osteoconduction necessary for bone report. The map3 also incorporates a multipotent adult progenitor cell-based technology with stem cells isolated in the bone material.
