AbstractNon-technical abstract Osteoporosis, trauma, severe inflammation, and the removal of bone cancer tumors can lead to large bone defects that exceed the self-healing capacity of human bones. Bone graft surgery, which involves transplanting healthy bone tissues from the patient or a donor to the damaged area, is the gold standard for treating these defects.
