Bone Grafts and Bone Graft Substitutes

This work helps you: review the many considerations in choosing bone grafts or graft substitutes, and hone your understanding of bone regeneration; and, explore the biological and biomechanical properties of graft alternatives, including autograpfts; allografts or xenografts; biologics; and synthetics. The chapters cover the use of bone grafts in oncology, spine, joint replacement, and more. The "Monograph Series" draws on current literature to support diagnosis, initial treatment, and management decision making for specific orthopaedic conditions. "Complications in Orthopaedics" is a richly illustrated, in-depth case-based discussion of treatment options for specific orthopaedic complications - and how to prevent the complications from occurring in the first place!
