    Arthrodesis is the process which surgically joins bones that make up a joint.

    Explanation:

    Severe cases of joint pains which cannot be treated using regular drugs and medication the arthrodesis method is selected. It surgically makes a joint immobile by fusing two bones on either side of the joint. One way of performing arthrodesis is by introducing a bone graft between two bones.

    The graft can be obtained from some other part of the patient's body or can be obtained from a suitable donor. The first type is called autograft and the second is called allograft.
