Allografts in cruciate ligament surgery

Abstract

Autografts and allogrefts are the most commonly chosen surgical materials in reconstruction of cruciate ligaments. The advantages and disadvantages of allografts are discussed in this article.There are 4 basic subjects that we must know before using an allograft material. These are; transmission of disease through transplantation of musculoskeletal allografts, harvesting, preservation and secondary sterilization of allografts, remodeling period of allografts inside the knee joint and immunologic response to allografts. To our current knowledge the risk of disease transmission is very low if the strict rules of tissue banking are followed in harvesting of musculoskeletal allografts although secondary sterilization is not performed. The remodeling period of autografts and allografts in the knee joint are similar and the immunologic response to allograf has no effect on clinical outcomes. The clinical studies that were done by autografts and allografts have approximately same results. Availability of different thickness and length, and shortening the operation time are among the advantages of this expensive graft material.
