bone grafting
Osseous tissue transfer
Bone grafting 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.
It's commonly used to heal fractures that won't mend on their own, to fuse vertebrae, or to build up the jaw before dental implants: The surgeon recommended bone grafting to strengthen the site before placing the implant.
