Bone Bone Transplantation

Bone bone transplantation (ie, supracapital bone graft or external bone graft) is a procedure in which a cortical bone plate is fixed on two diseased bones to promote bone healing. The cortical bone plate is hard. It is often used clinically to treat fractures of non-union of long tubular bones, bone defects, and joint explants during joint fusion surgery. In addition to stimulating osteogenesis, this bone implantation mainly uses its internal fixation. Cancellous bone transplantation is often used in practice to fill voids and enhance osteogenesis. The disadvantage of supra-bone transplantation is that the diameter of the bone after the bone transplantation must be thickened, the wound is difficult to suture, and the ability of the cortical bone to resist infection is weak. It is best not to be used by patients with potential infection.
