Bone Grafting & Substitutes: What Actually Helps Healing

Simini Podcasts Season 1 Episode 31

In this episode of BoardsCast, we break down what bone grafts actually do — and which options work best depending on your patient’s biology and your surgical goals.

You’ll learn:

  • The three functions of bone grafts: osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction
  • Why cancellous autografts are still the gold standard — and their limitations
  • The rise of graft substitutes: demineralized bone matrix, ceramics, stem cell scaffolds
  • When to use structural grafts vs. biological stimulators
  • Board-level distinctions between graft types and their properties
  • Practical guidance for fracture repair, delayed union, arthrodesis, and spinal fusion

This episode helps you sort through the options so you’re not just filling the gap — you’re fueling regeneration.
