Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 109 . (canceled) 
     
     
         110 . A composite bone graft comprising: a plurality of bone portions layered to form a graft unit, and one or more non-adhesive biocompatible mechanical connectors connecting said graft unit, said mechanical connectors comprising one or more biocompatible materials selected from the group consisting of cortical bone; stainless steel; titanium; cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy; a plastic of one or more members selected from the group consisting of nylon, polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyacetal, polyethylene, and polysulfone; and one or more bioabsorbable polymers. 
     
     
         111 . A composite bone graft comprising: two or more distinct bone portions, and one or more non-adhesive biocompatible mechanical connectors, wherein said mechanical connectors connect said two or more bone portions to form said composite bone graft, said mechanical connectors comprising one or more biocompatible materials selected from the group consisting of cortical bone; stainless steel; titanium; cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy; a plastic of one or more members selected from the group consisting of nylon, polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyacetal, polyethylene, and polysulfone; and one or more bioabsorbable polymers. 
     
     
         112 . A composite bone graft comprising: one or more cortical bone portions layered to form a first unit; one or more cortical bone portions layered to form a second unit; one or more cancellous bone portions layered to form a third unit; said third unit disposed between said first unit and said second unit to form a graft unit; and one or more non-adhesive biocompatible mechanical connectors connecting said graft unit, said mechanical connectors comprising one or more biocompatible materials selected from the group consisting of cortical bone; stainless steel; titanium; cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy; a plastic of one or more members selected from the group consisting of nylon, polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyacetal, polyethylene, and polysulfone; and one or more bioabsorbable polymers.
