Explanation

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to fix problems with bones or joints. It involves taking a piece of bone from another part of the body, or from a donor, and transplanting it into the damaged area to help it heal. This new piece of bone encourages the damaged bone to grow and repair itself. The procedure is often used for fractures that are not healing properly, or in cases where a disease has caused bone loss.
