bone chips
Small osseous pieces
Bone chips are small fragments of bone, typically produced during surgical procedures or resulting from fractures where pieces splinter off.
In orthopedic surgery, bone chips may be harvested and used as graft material to promote healing: The surgeon packed bone chips around the fusion site.
In cooking, bone chips are sometimes added to stocks for flavor extraction.
