Completely artificial and created in a lab. I think it goes in as a thick paste rather than a solid piece.
There were issues with the plate they had planned to use being unsuitable once they opened me up and the bone ends being in a worse condition than expected. They had to chop some damaged bits away so I guess that left spaces to be filled. It turned into a bit of an epic operation and I was on the table for four hours.
