Bone Grafting

Definition

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting or implanting bone tissue to repair or regenerate damaged or missing bone. This can be done using the patient's own bone (autograft), donor bone (allograft), or synthetic bone substitutes. Bone grafting is commonly used in orthopedic, dental, and reconstructive surgeries to promote healing, provide structural support, and restore function.
