| | ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Graft Choices |
 | | Because of these differences in graft techniques (yet apparently similar outcomes), ACL graft choice is frequently made by the surgeon based on his or her own experience and comfort level with the chosen technique. | | | This review of graft choices is presented to give the patient an understanding of some of the pro's and con's of using of these various tissues for ACL reconstruction. | | | Furthermore surgeons were concerned that the sutures at each end of the graft added to the length and elasticity of the whole unit thereby creating a "bungee cord" effect with a loss of graft stiffness. |

| | Coronary artery bypass graft surgery |
| | Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is major surgery and patients may experience any of the complications associated with major surgery. | | | Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a surgical procedure in which one or more blocked coronary arteries are bypassed by a blood vessel graft to restore normal blood flow to the heart. | | | These grafts usually come from the patient's own arteries and veins located in the leg, arm, or chest. |

| | eMedicine - Skin Grafting : Article by Donald Grande, MD |
| | Although the use of skin grafts is indicated primarily in reconstruction after surgical excision of malignancies, skin grafting has several other applications and considerations. | | | Generally, skin grafting is used when, in the opinion of the reconstructive surgeon, other methods of reconstruction such as primary closure, second-intention healing, or local skin flaps are inappropriate, are unavailable, or would produce a suboptimal result. | | | Most commonly, it is used for reconstruction after the surgical removal of cutaneous malignancies; however, skin grafts are also used to cover chronic nonhealing cutaneous ulcers, to replace tissue lost in full-thickness burns, and to restore hair to areas of alopecia. |

| | Bone graft for spine fusion |
| | Bone graft for spinal fusion surgeries may either be harvested from the patient (autologous bone) or from a cadaver (allograft bone). | | | In the lumbar spine, allograft bone is restricted for use in ALIF or PLIF procedures in which bone graft is placed in compression (the compression aids the healing process for the bone). | | | Autologous bone, in which the bone is harvested from the patient’s body during spine surgery, has the obvious disadvantage of higher post-operative pain. |

| | Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears: Surgical reconstruction technique |
| | Other than this skin incision and the incisions in the deeper tissues required to harvest the graft, all the rest of the surgery is done arthroscopically. | | | Conceptually, ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendons or other graft tissues is a similar technique other than the graft procurement and sometimes fixation methods. | | | Sometimes, if the length of the graft needs to be adjusted a little, this can be done by twisting the graft (which effectively shortens it while maintaining or possibly even increasing its strength slightly. |

| | A skin graft is a patch of skin that is surgically removed from one area of the body and transplanted to another one. | | | While the patient is awake (local anesthesia), sleepy (sedated), or deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), healthy skin is taken from elsewhere on the patient's body using a dermatome (skin-cutting instrument). | | | Most skin grafts are successful, but in some cases they don't heal well and require repeat grafting. |

| | Over time, the graft and vertebrae form a continuous bony mass to stabilize the spine and relieve pressure on nerve roots, thus relieving pain. | | | For example, replacing bone grafts used in spinal fusion surgery with an engineered substance is under study at the biomaterials research laboratory at the Orthopaedic Rehabilitation and Engineering Center (OREC). | | | The goal is to engineer bone graft substitutes that stimulate bone healing while performing well from a mechanical and biological standpoint. |

| | However, with the second generation graft, improved surgical technique, and better patient selection, the results improved. | | | It means that now the surgeon just has to learn one technique for drilling the tunnels and he can chose whatever graft he wishes, hamstring, patellar tendon, or allograft. | | | There was renewed interest in the mid 90s, with the semi-tendinosis, using the multiple bundle technique and improved fixation with the endo-button. |
