Most of the time any tissue (bones, organs, flesh) and any internal stuff (replacement joints and screws) are considered biohazards unless the hospital is pushed and the papers signed before surgery/ER visit are typically designed to prevent you from having any legal right to the parts as well as the hospital having no legal responsibility to save your life (in case of lose of life during treatment to avoid civil lawsuits from the family). Also common with dentists but not enforced as much. My father couldn't keep his solid gold molar because it was removed from his mouth making it a biohazard. Meanwhile my mother was allowed to keep her gallbladder after it was removed because the doctor didn't care to enforce the policy.
