Hello
In sentences like;
Peroperativ mjukvävnadskontaminering [II]
av titanimplantat uppvisade en tendens till
sämre ***inläkning*** jämfört med icke-kontamine-
rade implantat.
what is "inläkning" in English (I understand the word itself). I thought this would be easy to find but I'm beginning to wonder if we have an exact word for this.
Thanks

: This answer makes sense from a bone implant standpoint, because a term containing the "länk" root implies a connection, and "osseointegration" can be considered a type of connection.

Comment: "So this seems to be ok for where bones or teeth are concerned but not for skin or hair transplants/grafts. Thanks all"

Osseointegration derives from the Greek osteon, bone, and the Latin integrare, to make whole.
Discussion
