This book gives bone grafting techniques for reconstruction and various bone grafting materials-guiding surgeons through a wide range of operative techniques and highlighting the most critical aspects to achieve a stable implant and positive clinical results. One of the major surgical techniques for revising replaced joints that have worn due to progressive osteolysis is the restoration of the bone stock using impact bone allograft (the other is long stemmed cementless implants). Bringing together the contributions clinicians, scientists, engineers, and Bone reconstruction with grafts has a long history in medical science and according to folklore goes back to ancient times.
