bone graft
Osseous tissue transfer
A bone graft is a surgical procedure that transplants bone tissue to repair or rebuild damaged bones.
The graft may come from the patient's own body, a donor, or synthetic materials.
Bone grafts help fractures heal, fuse spinal vertebrae, or rebuild bone lost to disease or injury: The surgeon recommended a bone graft to repair her shattered jaw.
