A bone graft is a surgical procedure used to fix problems associated with bones or joints. Bone grafting or transplanting of bone tissue is beneficial in fixing bones after trauma, problem joints, or growing bone around implanted devices, such as total knee replacement (TKR).he two most common types of bone grafts are: 1  allograft: this graft uses bone from a deceased donor or a cadaver that has been cleaned and stored in a tissue bank. 2  autograft: graft made from a bone inside a patientâs body, such as the ribs or hips.
If cartilage becomes damaged or worn through wear and tear, bone can meet bone, causing pain. 'Cartilage has a poor blood supply and doesn't heal very well,' says Mr Green. 'Once it's lost, it doesn't grow back.'. With microfracture, surgeons drill puncture holes in the knee cap, which causes bleeding in the bone.This stimulates stem cells-which have the ability to form other types of cells-to create a scar-like version of cartilage.tem-cell implantation. Used for: Growing back cartilage. With this method, stem cells are removed from the patient's bone marrow under local anaesthetic.Arthritis Research UK is funding the country's first randomised controlled trial at The Robert Jones And Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry, Shropshire.
