Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that uses transplanted bone to repair and rebuild diseased or damaged bones. A bone graft is a choice for repairing bones almost anywhere in your body. Your surgeon might use bone from your body or bone tissue donated. 

INDICATIONS

• A persistent initial fracture
• Diseases of the bone, like osteonecrosis or cancer
• Spinal fusion surgery
• Surgically implanted devices, like in total knee replacement, to help promote bone growth around the structure 

Hips, knees, and spine are common locations for bone grafting, but you might need bone grafting for a different bone in your body.
