Bone Wedge

Bone wedge allografts are typically composed of dense cancellous bone with either no cortical ridges or a single/multiple cortical ridges. The cancellous bone provides a natural scaffold for bone ingrowth, while the cortical ridges provide additional structural support. Allogenic wedge bone grafts are a specific type of allogenic bone graft shaped like a triangle. They are commonly used in orthopedic surgeries to restore bone defects and provide structural support. One of the main uses of allogenic wedge bone grafts is in bone defect reconstruction. These grafts are often employed when there is a significant bone defect resulting from trauma, tumor resection, or congenital abnormalities. By filling in the missing bone, allogenic wedge bone grafts help restore the bone’s integrity and provide support for proper healing. Another application of allogenic wedge bone grafts is in corrective osteotomies. Corrective osteotomy procedures involve cutting and realigning a bone to correct deformities or malalignment. The use of allogenic wedge bone grafts can help maintain the corrected position and facilitate bone healing in these cases.
