Embedded bone graft

Embedded bone transplantation is to remove a piece of cortical bone of a certain length and width at both ends of the diseased bone, then take a whole piece of bone of the same size and insert it into the bone groove, and fix the bone plate to the diseased bone with screws to achieve stimulation Osteogenesis and internal fixation promote bone healing. The advantage of this method is that the diameter of the diseased bone does not increase after bone grafting. The disadvantage is that it requires certain equipment (such as a double-saw blade electric saw), and the internal fixation is not as reliable as the bone graft, and the bone defect is less reliable for this operation. Therefore, it is mostly used for boneless fracture Non-healing and various joint fusions.
