Bone Graft
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that uses transplanted bone to repair damaged or diseased bones. Surgeons may take bone from your hips, legs, or ribs for grafting, or use donated cadaver bone. Inside bones, living cells maintain their strength and repair them when needed.
Sometimes, a significant loss of bone requires grafting for complete healing. During a bone graft, new bone is inserted into the damaged area, and the cells within it help seal and heal the old bone. This procedure is often performed alongside other medical treatments and typically requires general anesthesia.
Symptoms
Bone grafting may be necessary for various medical reasons, such as:
- A suspected non-healing fracture that requires grafting support.
- A previously untreated fracture that didn’t heal properly.
- Bone diseases like osteonecrosis or cancer.
- Spinal fusion surgery for an unstable spine.
- Dental implant procedures to replace missing teeth.
- Surgical device implantation, such as total knee replacements, to stimulate bone growth around the implant.
When to access Medical Care
The preparation for dental implants may require the expertise of several specialists, including an oral and maxillofacial surgeon specializing in mouth, jaw, and facial conditions, a periodontist specializing in the supporting structures of teeth like gums and bones, a prosthodontist skilled in designing and fitting artificial teeth, or occasionally an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.
Determinants of risk
Bone grafting is generally considered a safe procedure, but like any surgery, it carries some rare risks and potential complications. These may include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Blood clot formation
- Nerve damage
- Complications related to anesthesia
- Very rare instances of infection from donated bone
The success of your bone graft can also be influenced by various factors, such as whether donor tissue is used, your overall health condition, and your age. Certain lifestyle factors, like smoking or having diabetes, may affect the likelihood of successful graft healing. It’s essential to discuss any concerns and specific risks that apply to your situation with your healthcare provider.
Recovery process
Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
