A member asked:
Does a person who had a bone graft have to take anti rejection drugs?

No: The bone graft failed due to a particular reason. Your doctor should have an idea why. Usually a different type of bone graft will be performed for the second attempt. Anti rejection drugs are usually not needed bone grafts.

NO: The grafting material, unless it is your own bone, usually only provide a scaffold for your blood vessel to proliferating and bring in your own bone cell, differentiate, and mature into your bone. Anti rejection drug applied more for using a live graft (an organ, bone marrow, etc.) and assuming its function. Thus anti rejection drug is not prescribed for bone graft procedure.
