Synopsis

This book provides comprehensive insight into the groundbreaking technique of bone grafting, a surgical procedure where living bone tissue is transplanted from one part of the body to another. The author, a pioneer in the field, presents a thorough analysis of the fundamental principles underlying bone grafting, meticulously researched and supported by extensive experimental and clinical studies. The author delves into the complex cellular processes involved in bone regeneration and the various factors that influence the success of bone grafts. This work offers valuable guidance on the surgical techniques and applications of bone grafting in a wide range of orthopedic conditions, including spinal deformities, fractures, and bone defects. The author also explores the historical evolution of bone grafting, tracing its development from early experiments to its current status as a highly effective surgical approach. This book is an invaluable resource for surgeons, medical professionals, and researchers seeking to advance their understanding and practice of bone grafting.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The author has been induced to write this book in order to answer as far as possible the many inquiries in regard to bone grafting and to present the technique of the application of the bone graft in the widening field for its use, which is covered in no other work yet published. The greater portion of this book presents the authors original applied technique with ample illustrations. Bone, being one of the simple connective tissues, lends itself favorably to transplantation and to the repair of skeletal deficiencies and is the most reliable means of internal bone fixation. Instead of antagonizing Nature by attempting to introduce a foreign substance, the surgeon, by using autogenous material is following Nature sown method, being thereby able to overcome mechanical surgical defects which he has hitherto been unable to cope with. The use of uncertain extemporizing methods and the application of external fixation braces cannot compare with the accurate, direct internal implantation of an autogenous bone graft contacting corresponding structures of graft and host bone, i.e., periosteum to periosteum, compact bone to compact bone, endosteum to endosteum and marrow to marrow. As improved machinery and tools have made the skilled artisan more efficient, so likewise has the introduction of rontgenography and electrically driven tools augmented the skill and accuracy of the surgeon in arresting bone diseases and restoring bone defects and has opened ways of dealing with bone and joint conditions such as have never been attempted with the cruder hand tools. Though the author considers the use of the motor-driven tools as more nearly approaching the ideal conditions yet there are instances where their use is not absolutely essential.
