## Description

Bone grafting is a type of transplantation used to replace missing bone tissue or stimulate the healing of fractures. This surgical procedure is useful for repairing bone fractures that are extremely complex, pose a significant health risk to the patient, or fail to heal properly, leading to pseudoarthrosis.

## Overview

Bone grafting is a type of transplantation used to replace missing bone tissue or stimulate the healing of fractures. This surgical procedure is useful for repairing bone fractures that are extremely complex, pose a significant health risk to the patient, or fail to heal properly, leading to pseudoarthrosis. While some small or acute fractures can heal without bone grafting, the risk is greater for large fractures, such as compound fractures. Additionally, structural or morcellized bone grafting can be used in joint replacement revision surgery when wide osteolysis is present.
