Bone Grafting
About Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to repair or rebuild damaged bones by transplanting bone tissue from another part of the body or using synthetic material.
Overview
Bone grafting is a surgical technique used to repair bone defects or promote bone healing. The procedure involves placing healthy bone tissue or synthetic bone material into an area where bone is missing or damaged. This graft stimulates new bone growth and helps restore bone structure and strength.
