A Brief History, Challenges and Types of the Experimental Bone Transplantation

Hiroo Soyama

Bone transplantation refers to the process of transferring bone tissue from one location to another, either within the same individual or between different individuals. There are different types of bone transplantation procedures, such as autografts, allografts, and xenografts. Autografts involve harvesting bone tissue from one part of the patient’s body and transplanting it to another part, while allografts involve obtaining bone tissue from another individual of the same species. Xenografts, on the other hand, involve using bone tissue from a different species, usually for experimental purposes. Bone transplantation is commonly used for treating bone defects caused by trauma, cancer, infections, or congenital abnormalities. This research article seeks to explore the current state of bone transplantation research, including its history, techniques, challenges, and potential applications.
