Overview
Autograft uses the patient’s own bone to promote healing.

Indications
Nonunion, bone defects, or spinal fusion.

How it is done
Bone is harvested (often from pelvis) and placed at the repair site.

Risks and considerations
Donor site pain and infection risk.

Recovery timeline
Healing over months; donor site soreness may persist.

When to seek care
Persistent pain or wound problems need evaluation.
