Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces a missing bone with material from the patient's own body, using an artificial, synthetic, or natural substitute.
Bone grafting to replace missing bone with synthetic porous Biomaterial (i.e. bone graft scaffolds) and associated new bone formation and remodelling, have been investigated for over 30 years [1].
Taphonomical data were combined with appropriate mathematical methods and allometric analyses in order to determine missing bone measurements and estimate correct relative proportions of skeletal elements.
Various materials are available to build up missing bone.
With large segmental defects, containment of the impacted bone graft is achieved by metal meshes, which are placed around the original location of the missing bone.
Despite this effort to capture missing patients with bone metastasis, we acknowledge that the process is imperfect and our results may still underestimate, or overestimate given potential false positives, the true prevalence of bone metastasis in solid tumor patients.
Some pieces are complete while others have eyeballs missing, shoddy bone work and cavities with stuffing pouring from them.
