bone grafting
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to repair or rebuild bones. It involves placing new bone material, called a graft, into an area where bone is missing or damaged. This graft can come from the patient’s own body, a donor, or be made from synthetic materials. The goal is to encourage new bone growth and support healing.
The procedure is commonly used in various medical fields, including orthopedics and dentistry. In orthopedics, it may help heal fractures or joint issues, while in dentistry, it can support dental implants. Bone grafting helps restore function and improve overall health.
