Bone Graft
Alternate Names : Bone Grafting
What happens later at home?
The person should slowly increase his or her activity. The bone graft
may take up to 3 months to heal. The surgeon may give other homecare
instructions. Any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to the
doctor.
What are the potential complications after the procedure?
There are possible complications with any surgery. These include:
bleeding
infection
allergic reaction
to anesthesia
There is a chance of rejection of the bone graft. Rejection is not usually a risk if a
person's own bone is used.
