Medical Conditions - Bone Graft

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that helps in fixing bones that are damaged from trauma. A bone graft is a choice of repairing bones present anywhere in the body. A bone graft helps in filling an area where the bone is absent. It is of two types such as allograft and autograft. An allograft uses bone from a deceased donor that is cleaned and stored in a tissue bank. Autograft is taking bone from the other organs of the body.
