A splint or cast is usually used to prevent injury or movement while healing.
Most bone grafts help the bone defect to heal with little risk of graft rejection .

An allograft or allogeneic transplant or homograft is a transplant in which transplanted cells, tissues, or organs are sourced from a genetically non-identical member of the same species.

A transplanted organ or tissue from a genetically identical donor, i.e., an identical twin, is termed an isograft. Finally, when a tissue is...
