Awhile back I chipped a tooth and had a porecalin veneer put in which completely regained the tooths original shape and functionality.
More recently, after an accident, I had arthoscopic surgery on my shoulder in which the conclusion is that no apparent mucsle damage has occured,however a 3 milimeter chip of bone fragment was removed.My doctor surmises that it either came from the scapular,or the humerus and was "floating around in there".
As can be expected I expierience some pain and functional restrictions from this injury and I wanted to know if a similar "reconstruction" may be pheaseable as was done with my tooth?And if so what is the procedure called?

Bone chips in joints are common, and sometimes very irritating. No, they are not re-affixed, they are just removed.

A while back is too long a time to expect the donor site to have remained pristine. By now, the exposed bone tissue has begun to develop a callus and will not be able to accept the origional bone fragment.
Veneering is a cosmetic treatment that is intended to produce perfection in the eye of it's beholder--Who's going to look inside your shoulder?

Not sure about this, but many times doctors will take bone from your hip. Sometimes doctors and dentists will use bones from cadavers.
