greffe libre os-tendon rotulien-os. Terme proposé par inférence aux termes «greffe os-tendon rotulien-os» et «greffe libre».

OBS

Il y a quelques années, le terme greffe désignait le transfert d'un tissu (greffe de la peau) tandis que transplant était utilisé pour désigner le transfert d'un organe (transplant de rein); ces termes sont peu à peu devenus synonymes et aujourd'hui on dit couramment greffe du rein.
