Generally your own bone will fuse quicker because it has living bone cells in it. Bank Bone will allow your body to send bone cells into it and it will become your own bone. The rate of fusion is about the same for both. The procedure to obtain iliac crest bone (hip bone) requires a separate incision, and the procedure may be painful.
