How does the SpinaLogic bone growth stimulator work?
It sends electromagnectic pulses into your body, which promotes the growth of bone grafts. Bone grafts are tiny pieces of bone, sometimes from a cadaver, sometimes taken from other parts of your body like your hip. The bone grafts are placed between vertebra and eventually grow to fuse the vertebrae together. This operation is called a spinal fusion. The bone growth stimulator must have been proven to work because my insurance not only approved the use of it, but paid for 100% of it when I had my spinal fusion. I also assume from their approval, that it must save them money in some way, such as less doctor visits if it makes the bone grafts grow faster than without it.

Where does the bone comes from when you have surgery?
In some surgery, bone grafts are needed. These can come from your own body, most frequently from your pelvis (around the Spina Iliaca Anterior Superior), or fibula (lower leg). Your own hip (Femoral head) can also be used if you are getting a hip prosthesis. Bone grafts can also come from other people. When a person dies, their organs are taken for transplantation (NB: this is diffrent in each country, depending on wether you have an opting-in or opting-out system). Bones are organs too, though you don't consider them as such. Obviously, these bones are processed before used (checked, checked, checked, sterilised, checked,...).

What is the fibula?
In human anatomy, the fibula is a bone of the leg. It is situated lateral to the tibia (larger shin bone) and between the patella (knee) and ankle. The fibula is not as long, thick, or strong as the tibia, and does not provide weight support. However, the fibula assists with muscle structure, and can be utilized when large bone grafts are necessary.
9 days after oral surgery and bone grafts I have no infection and healing looks good but the pain is terrible is this normal?
If your pain has been consistently the same since surgery, it is unusual but not totally unknown. If your pain has increased, for more than a day, get an emergency appointment. Either way, I advise Telling your dentist ASAP. Bone grafts are serious surgery - that is a big wound in your mouth and if something goes wrong you could be very I'll. p
