Welcome! We invite you to experience the Forest Health Medical Center difference!

FHMC is different from either a general medical hospital or a large university medical center. We provide you with specialty surgery and personal care by the best specialty surgeons and staff.

Just like the major medical centers we have the latest modern equipment and facilities, but that is not what makes us different. The personal care you will receive is unlike the typical impersonal healthcare offered in most large university medical centers. At FHMC we are committed to caring for you as our family.

Bone graft

Bone graphs are used to fuse joints to prevent movement, repair broken bones that have bone loss, or to repair an injured bone that has not healed. The bone graft is shaped and inserted into and around the area, providing the framework for the growth of new, living bone. The bone can come from another part of your body (autograph), from a bone bank (allograph) or synthetic bone can be used. It may be held in place with pins, plates, or screws.
