Viable bone and circulatory factors required for survival of bone grafts

Abstract

The healing of fractures and nonunions has significant science background to it; however, the application of the products in the surgeon's hands should be considered an art in the science of bone healing. The surgeon must choose adequate fixation for stability and to promote healing by not making the construct too stiff. If a bone graft substitute is necessary, the surgeon must choose the type of bone graft substitute depending on patient factors and surgeon factors involving the treatment of the fracture.
