The skeletal system is the frame work of the body, which consists of bones and connective tissues. The system supports and protects the body tissues and internal organs. The bio technologies in concern today are bone plates, prosthesis, bone replacements and bone marrow transplants.

Bone plates are titanium or stainless steel alloys which are screwed onto fractured or broken bones to move them back to their original position.
Bone plates were first made in 1895 and was perfected 1967.
A broken bone must be stabilised and supported until it is strong enough to hold the body's weight and movement.
The bone plates are made of strong materials so that the plate is rigid to fix the bone.
Bone plates are like internal splints which are screwed onto the bone and are left there, excluding the special cases where they can be taken out.

Prosthesis and Bone replacement surgery
Prosthesis are artificial body parts that are generally made out of metal and plastic components and allows people do any activity without a natural limb.
In this case we are talking about prosthetic limbs.
This type of biotechnology lets us replicate the form and function of the bones in our body.
THE END
With the help of 3D printers we can now make prosthesis at a lower cost using cheaper materials.
A process where damaged stem cells are replaced by healthy stem cells in the bone marrow
Bone marrow is the soft tissue inside your bones, its job is to produce blood cells.
Bone replacement surgery uses prosthesis but rather than replacing the entire limb it replace a certain bone with a prosthetic one.
These surgeries are usually performed on the elderly and replace the arthritis hip. in this surgery the bone id removed and replaced with a synthetic one that is in the correct place and has a natural design to ensure comfort and support for the joint.
Before transplant chemotherapy and/or radiation is given
-Ablative treatment
-Reduced intensity treatment
-Autologous
-Allogenic
-umbilical chord

In conclusion, bone plates, prosthesis, bone replacement and bone marrow transplants are all bio technologies that take place and aid the skeletal system.
