  2. Bone grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_grafting

    Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex, pose a significant health risk to the patient, or fail to heal properly. Some small or acute fractures can be cured without bone grafting, but the risk is greater for large fractures like compound fractures.

  3. Guided bone and tissue regeneration (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_bone_and_tissue...

    At present, guided bone regeneration is predominantly applied in the oral cavity to support new hard tissue growth on an alveolar ridge to allow stable placement of dental implants. When bone grafting is used in conjunction with sound surgical technique, guided bone regeneration is a reliable and validated procedure.

  4. Demineralized bone matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demineralized_bone_matrix

    These growth factors modulate the differentiation of progenitor cells into osteoprogenitor cells, which are responsible for bone and cartilage formation. As a result of the demineralization process, DBM is more biologically active than undemineralized bone grafts; conversely the mechanical properties are significantly diminished. [citation needed]

  5. Demineralized freeze dried bone allograft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demineralized_freeze_dried...

    Demineralized freeze dried bone allograft, referred to as DFDBA, is a bone graft material known for its de novo bone formation properties. [1] It is used extensively in bone grafting of alveolar bone in oral and periodontal surgery.

  6. Artificial bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_bone

    Artificial bone refers to bone-like material created in a laboratory that can be used in bone grafts, to replace human bone that was lost due to severe fractures, disease, etc. [1] Bone fracture, which is a complete or partial break in the bone, is a very common condition that has more than three million US cases per year.

  7. Internal fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_fixation

    Implant that has been used for fixation of a broken wrist. Closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) is reduction without any open surgery, followed by internal fixation. It appears to be an acceptable alternative in unstable distressed lateral condylar fractures of the humerus in children, but if fracture displacement after closed reduction exceeds 2 mm, open reduction and internal fixation ...

    From E. coli traced to slivered onions on McDonald's Quarter Pounders to mass recalls of frozen waffles due to listeria risk, foodborne illness seems ever-present in the headlines.

  9. Phemister graft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phemister_graft

    A Phemister graft is a type of bone graft which uses bone tissue harvested from the patient to treat slow-healing, or delayed union bone fractures. [1] Thus, it is a form of autotransplantation. Typically, the tissue used in the graft is cancellous bone harvested from the patient's Iliac crest and laid in strips across the fracture site.
