About Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to repair and rebuild damaged or missing bone. It involves transplanting bone tissue, which can be taken from the patient's own body (autograft), a donor (allograft), or synthetic materials. This procedure is commonly used to promote healing in fractures that fail to mend properly, fill gaps after tumor removal, or support spinal fusions and joint reconstructions. The graft acts as a scaffold, encouraging new bone growth and providing structural stability. With advancements in techniques and materials, bone grafting has become a highly effective solution for restoring bone integrity and function, improving patient mobility and quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
