Injerto óseo - Recovery

Nombres alternativos

Autoinjerto; Aloinjerto

Pronóstico:

El tiempo de recuperación depende de la lesión o defecto que se esté tratando y del tamaño del injerto óseo. Su recuperación puede tomar de dos semanas a tres meses. El injerto óseo tardará hasta tres meses o más para sanar.

El ejercicio vigoroso se puede restringir hasta por 6 meses.

Será necesario que usted mantenga el área del injerto óseo limpia y seca. Su médico le dará instrucciones respecto a la forma de ducharse.

No fume. El tabaquismo reduce o impide la cicatrización del hueso. Si usted fuma, es más probable que el injerto falle.

Después del procedimiento:

La mayoría de los injertos óseos ayudan a que el defecto óseo sane con poco riesgo de rechazo.
