Question

what is bone grafting

Answer 1

A bone graft is a surgical procedure used to fix problems with bones or joints. Bone grafting, or transplanting of bonetissue, is beneficial in fixing bones that are damaged from trauma, or problem joints. It's also useful for growing bonearound an implanted device, such as a total knee replacement.

Answer 2

A bone graft transplants bone tissue. Surgeons use bone grafts to repair and rebuild diseased bones in your hips, knees, spine, and sometimes other bones and joints. Grafts can also repair bone loss caused by some types of fractures or cancers. Once your body accepts the bone graft, it provides a framework for growth of new, living bone.
