Bone Implant Grafting

Focuses heavily on the use of bone grafting and allografts in orthopaedic revision surgery, particularly in the hip and knee. The texts explore the biology and natural history of bone grafts, discussing concepts like osteo-induction and osteoconduction, and scrutinize immunological responses to allografts, often citing the role of bone marrow cells in rejection. Numerous chapters detail various surgical techniques for reconstructing significant bone loss in the acetabulum and femur, comparing cemented and cementless fixation methods, and evaluating artificial materials like Collagraft and techniques such as cerclage cables. Finally, the sources address the critical logistics and safety protocols of bone banking, including donor screening, storage requirements, and the prevention of infectious agent transmission.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
