Bone drill and grafter, artwork C016 / 6845

Bone drill and grafter. Artwork of a cross-section through a bone drill and grafter that is being used in a hip socket bone grafting operation. Such drilling grafters can also be used to harvest bone chips from healthy bone for use in bone grafting elsewhere in the body. Bone grafting is most successful when carried out using bone from the patients own body, known as autogenous or autologous bone. Areas of the skeleton that are used to harvest such bone grafts include the chin bone, other part of the mandible, the iliac pelvic crest, the fibula, the ribs, and parts of the skull

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cross-section of a bone drill and grafter, revealing the intricate details of this essential tool used in hip socket bone grafting operations. The artwork beautifully captures the complexity and precision required for such procedures. Bone drilling grafters serve a dual purpose - not only are they employed to harvest bone chips from healthy areas of the body for use in other bone grafting surgeries, but they also aid in collecting autogenous or autologous bone from the patient's own body. This technique significantly enhances the success rate of bone grafting procedures. Various parts of the skeleton can be utilized as sources for these valuable bone grafts, including the chin bone, mandible, iliac pelvic crest, fibula, ribs, and sections of the skull. By carefully extracting these bones with specialized equipment like this drill and grafter, surgeons ensure that patients receive optimal treatment while minimizing risks associated with using foreign materials. The monochrome illustration against a white background highlights every minute detail of this technological marvel. It serves as a testament to advancements in medical technology and surgical techniques that continue to revolutionize orthopedic practices worldwide. This remarkable artwork is part of D & L GRAPHICS / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's collection—an invaluable resource for professionals seeking visual aids within the fields of medicine, surgery, osteology, and beyond.
