Bone grafting is a surgical procedure where bone is taken from a donor site and implanted into the patient. Bone grafting is commonly used in orthopaedic surgery and dental implants.

[edit] Tissue source

Autologous bone is typically harvested from the iliac crest of the pelvis.

Allograft bone from cadavers or live donors may also be used. Allograft is typically sourced from a bone bank.
