Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone with material from the patient's own body, an artificial, synthetic, or natural substitute. Bone grafting is used to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex, pose a significant risk to the patient, or fail to heal properly.

Tissue source

Autologous bone is typically harvested from intra-oral sources as the chin or extra-oral sourses as the iliac crest of the pelvis.

Allograft bone from cadavers or live donors may also be used. Allograft is typically sourced from a bone bank.

Grafts may be made from hydroxylapatite, a naturally occurring mineral that is also the main mineral component of bone.

Synthetic grafts may be made from bioactive glass.
