Skin Grafts: Transplantation of healthy skin from one area of the body (donor site) to another area that has lost skin due to burns, injury, or surgery.

Types of Skin Grafts: Split-thickness grafts: Include the top layers of skin (epidermis and part of dermis). Full-thickness grafts: Include the entire dermis and epidermis, offering better cosmetic results. Types of Bone Grafts: Autografts: Bone taken from the patient’s own body (e.g., hip). Allografts: Bone from a donor or cadaver. Synthetic grafts: Lab-made materials used to stimulate bone growth. Purpose: Skin grafts: Promote healing, prevent infection, and improve appearance of the affected area. Bone grafts: Support bone regeneration, especially where natural healing is insufficient. Healing: Both require good blood supply at the recipient site, and recovery time varies based on the graft type and the patient's overall health.
